I'm just curious what everyone else makes of the area outside Anor Londo-- the building above Archdeacon McDonnell's room outside of which are a bunch of dead giants and two guys in Drang/Llewellyn Armor. It's definite in reference to Dark Souls 2, but what I'm wondering is if that's some part of Drangleic Castle or some other place in Drangleic. As it's always been done in the series new locations are built over old ones (Smouldering Lake is where Lost Izalith used to be), and Irithyll is built quite literally on top of Anor Londo, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume when Drangleic got built up the same happened. Obviously, what punches a hole in that idea is that we see no evidence of this in Dark Souls 2, but a lot of what happened in that game's gone out the window anyway. That whole spot with the giants and the Drang knights doesn't at all with the rest of the area, which is all the Silver Knights and Deacons.

So, in short, is it some kind of last bastion of Drangleic, or it just a spot two wandering Drang knights-- it says in the description of their weapons and armor that after Drangleic fell they set out for greener pastures-- ran into their old enemies, the giants, and decided to duke it out  Although these are different giants than Drangleic giants, so it could be these ones were just hanging out and the Drang knights ambushed them thinking they were their enemies.

I may have given a placement of enemies too much thought, it was deliberate to put those two knights standing guard of an entrance, looking out over a bunch of dead and live giants. Really, I'm just wondering if it's a little nod at the mostly forgotten Dark Souls II or if it's supposed to be bigger than that.
