What if due to the conveluted timeline, Dark Souls is actually a prequil to Demon Souls in some way? If the chosen undead brings on the age of the dark and becomes the dark lord, an there is a dark lord in Demon souls, is it not possible that the dark lord from demon souls is the "chosen undead" who chose to bring about the age of dark? In the age of fire we play in during dark souls everything seems to have basic laws. Enemies are always the same strength based on your NG level (NG,NG+,NG++< etc,) and things that are there stay known unless you trigger events to cause them to be otherwise. In Demon Souls the whole character and world tendancy mechanics would indicate that rather than there being some sort of equalizing force that holds everything constant (within reason), that everything is affected directly by you as the player. The power to manipulate literally the entire world rests with the hero. As you die in human enemies become harder and you become weaker. If you remain human and kill the bosses deathlessly then the world becomes easier because you are gaining power. This is speculation on my part, but I have seen nothing in the lore of either game that actually rules this out completely as a possibility. Dark Souls may take place 200 years in the future, but what if the ending takes you into the past as the dark lord?
