After taking a close look at Velka, I'm starting to feel like she was the one who found the Dark Soul, and in a Promethean move, split it up and dispersed it amongst every human being once the flame faded, giving them the means to defy the wills of the gods and commit sin.

This would make her the god of humans, which upset Gwyn to the point of defying the natural order of things and leading Velka to seek out a Chosen Undead to acquire the souls to challenge the followers of Gwyn, since she had divvied up her soul and does not have the strength to do so on her own. Her power, however, does not come from her personal strength, but from her influence, which she used to launch a proxy war against Gwyn through the Chosen Undead.

This theory would not only suppose that Velka's intention was not only to punish the gods, but to embrace a true Age of Dark so that the Abyss could spread more evenly throughout the world, and thereby balance the scales of power more evenly in the process.

Velka's main goal was to sterilize the world so that everyone possessed the power for free will, which is comparable to sin in terms of Gods and Humans.
