If you notice with the Dragonrider Greatshield, it says that the rank of Dragonrider is reserved to the knights that helped King Vendrick found Drangleic, and that they, "crushed its former inhabitants and erected a magnificent kingdom upon their graves."

It is quite possible that that information, when combined with the Old Dragonslayer (complete with the "Old Leo Ring" item) that the Flame Tower of Heide was built on top of Anor Londo, or at least repurposed some of its architecture, as many of the spires reaching out of the ocean look like the same as Anor Londo, if only with blue painted on the top of them.
