(until they disappeared of course, leaving Gwyndolin and Nito as the only actual gods left.) There is so very little information about the extent of this shepherding, when it took place, and if it involved all humans or just humans within Lordran, that it is difficult to infer much of anything from it.

Unless your parents were Nazis, or I am misunderstanding you, this analogy doesn't at all seem suitable. The Undead that make it to Lordran are clearly not pursued and so this does make it very much of a refuge. Undead Male Merchant dialogue: "It's actually quite nice here, you know? The Hollows don't care for a skinny old twig like me. I've got Yulia...And nobody pelts me with stones anymore. You're Undead, you know how it is. I was treated worse back at home."
