my guess is they were giants in the flameless age. Living in the shadows of the everlasting dragons. Remember the giants tomb from DS1? These dark caves were probably the home of Gwyns race. And when they found the flame, and with it change set into motion they also changed fundamentally. That's why there is a clean cut between the history of the giants and the history of the gods. Story is compareable to the babarians who burned down Rome, another "everlasting" empire. In order to build up their own kingdoms later on it's ruins. And no proud christians king wanted to be reminded of his barbaric past. Same with the gods/former giants in Dark Souls.
