Ehh I wouldn't agree with that Jarc. Gwyn controlled the First Flame just fine, but the reason he lost his power was because he sacrificed himself to the Flame. Since Gwyn was such a powerful being, the Flame's life span was extended greatly and the flame expanding resulted in the loss of the knights whom followed Gwyn to the Kiln. Anor Londo became dark because the Goddess of Sunlight(Gwynevere) left. So Gwyndolin created a false sun and a false Gwynevere to trick everyone into thinking everything was okay. Smough and Ornstein, as well as the Silver Knights, the Sentinels, and the Royal Sentinels, all stay in Anor Londo to protect the fake(or real to them) Gwynevere.
