Either the old ones are dragons or the legend has become distorted over time, although I think the dragons being old ones is more likely.

Since old ones are referenced in Drangleic, Drangleic probably is Lordran.

It's a far stretch, but Izalith did kind of turn into a twig monstrosity. If Drangleic truly is where the Undead Asylum resides, it would mean that it's a land of it's own. If we are to also assume the land exists in a kind of limbo, it's very likely to assume that along with Boletaria, Oolacile and Lordran, Drangleic is also one of the lost kingdoms.

All the traits shared by these three is an unperturbed fog, distorted flow of time and space and the slow and steady conversion into an Abyss. People go hollow, land will be devoid of souls. A progressions very similar to what happened with Oolacile will begin afterward.

Still going on about time is pretty convoluted as there is no telling how "long" the time between the events in Lordran and the now occuring events in Drangleic are spaced between. As far as we know, they could both be happening at the same time, after all it's even more convoluted when it was made obvious that Manus could pull the chosen undead 200 years into the past to live the events that happened back then. If we take all these into account, all theories of time and existence get kind of tricky as for all we know for Drangleic and it's progression of time, Lordran might just be a distant legend, as it's possible the Drangleic has been lost for a long enough time for it's original name to have been forgotten.
