Something tells me the Dark Lord will be canon. After all, the Chosen Undead was thrown into a hole by people who were supposedly acting on the wishes of the Gods, or were fooled into thinking so (probably the latter). Most people probably corrected the problem and ended the curse that started their quest.

But from the way you're saying it, they are (at the very least) too far away to have a great effect on the second game. Besides, that would be the sensible development choice, as opposed to forcing an additude on the player's character form Dark Souls I.
