Some really good expeculation, but it is important to note that there are items with different descriptions in Portuguese. The Demon of Song Soul says it was once a human (female substantive) in the Portuguese (Brazil, at least) version, for example.

I think there can be some references to gods of Dark Souls I, but I don't think there is any direct mention or participation on the story other than what we've seen in Dark Souls I.

I've discussed the meaning of the message on the monument in Majula on the chat along with other items and their description, you should join to have a more consistent feedback.
