I hate to point it out, but referring to Gwyan as father and his children as her "brother/sister" doesn't necessarily make Yorshka a child of Gwyn. It could be a familial reference not uncommon among royal families of old. In such tense, "brother" could denote a social rank, implying that Yorshka was of the same cultural stature as Gwyndolin. In other words, Yorshka may not have been immediately related to Gwyndolin, rather: Yorshka may have have merely been his peer in the divine hierarchy. Referring to Gwyn as "father" would denote that Gwyn was of a higher rank than Yorshka or Gwyndolin, and given that Gywn served as the Chief God, this theory is every bit as sound as the "proposed" wiki official.

Other circumstances must be considered as well, given that this is Dark Souls, and no one (save, perhaps, Mizayki) knows the concrete lore behind the narrative.

For all we know, Yorshka could have been a reject of the Painted World, who was adopted by a lonely Gwyndolin. Gwyndolin may have even raised Yorshka to beleive her paternal relation to him, in an ostracized god's desire for his missing elder sister.

That said, we know that Gwyndolin was raised in secret, and that the three statues in Anor Londo's throne room only depict Gwyn, Gwynvere, and the defaced statue of the Sun's Firstborn. Seeing as Gwyndolin was such a destable figure that his own father refused to raise an idol of him, it stands to reason that Gwyn may have had illegitimate children kept even more secret than his son of the moon.

But given that Yorshka is clearly a half-breed to some degree, and that Gwyn was the sworn enemy of dragonkind, I find it EXTREMELY unlikely that Gwyn knocked up a scalely, or alternatively: his possible grandaughter, Priscillia.

Also, Yorshka mentions losing the Darkmoon Covenant's final knight long ago. While the final could have been DS1's MC, it could also have been Sirrus (who gives you the Silver Cat Ring, which might have been handy for navigating her way down Yorshka's tower, and an item she no longer needed; given that her final "duty" as a hollow was to lay her Grandfather to rest). But I find it far more likely that the last Darkmoon knight was Smough, given his hammer's lore in DS3.

And finally, I don't beleive for an instant that the Lifehunt Scythe miracle's description references Priscillia as the "Pale Girl in Hiding." I genuinely beleive that the figure in Aldritch's dreams was the child-painter we met in Ashes of Ariandal, and that Livid Pyromancer Dunnel was her father and Priscillia was her mother.

Look up the description of Pyromancer's Parting Flame and consider the Lifehunt Scythe miracle's description in contemporary/foreshadowing terms. Given that the Corvian Great Scythe foreshadowed Ashes of Ariandel, I don't find it unlikely at all that Aldritch's "Sea of Darkness" has something to do with Slave Knight Gael's hunt for the Darkness of Humanity.
