@filthycasul44 "greedy gods"- yeah, Gywn sacrificing himself to prolong the Age of Fire (AKA civilization), was really selfish of him. How dare he.

If you haven't figured it out yet, the age of fire is symbolic of civilization and the age of dark is symbolic for a primitive state (aka before recorded history). In fact, the entire story of dark souls is about the human struggle to build and preserve civilization with limited resources and limited time (which are two constraints humanity is under in the real world). Just because something is "natural" doesn't mean it's good or moral. Primitive man, aka the furtive pygmy, isn't a preferable state to humans that have achieved the written language and civilziation.
