Before I start you must look at this from a 1st time play thru perspective, please keep that in mind while reading this theory.

As we all know Dark Souls is a game all about Souls. Souls being what one needs to grow and develop your character. Now thru out the game we encounter a lot of the common white souls, my theory on what these are reflect the strength of your characters "Soul" When you first start the game and make it past the asylum your grabbed by a large crow and dropped into unknown land with no sense of direction given on what too do. For the most part it Is up to you to figure out where to go and what you need to accomplish. You'll start to collect "Souls of a lost Undead" which is exactly what you are first time thru. Your just a wondering corpse trying to figure out what to do and where to go. Eventually you'll encounter some bosses and defeat them giving you more power. Once you make it farther the white souls become larger giving more currency but also the item picture for them get bigger showing that these souls are stronger/ have more power. Eventually the soul names become "Soul of a proud knight" "Soul of a brave warrior" and by the time you find these in particular souls you will be stronger and start too develop knowledge of the world around you. No longer you are lost but you are slowing becoming a proud knight who has slain great demons or dragons, (achievements one should be proud of) Soon the white souls say "Soul of a Hero" and lastly having only too of this kind in game "Soul of a great Hero" who's description says "Great soul of a hero of legend" which is what you now have become. By the time you get these two rare souls you have already killed Quelaag,Iron Golem, and the infamous duo of Ornstein and Smough. Only a Hero of legend can defeat such enemies! Once a lost undead losing hope in their cell with no idea on what too do,now becoming a Lord of Cinder! (Or Dark Lord) Anyway that's my thought on Soul items. I do realize defeated bosses gives you that person souls which would be even greater power then the common white ones since they are always a golden flame showing a great power. But I just wanted to talk about the ones you find while exploring the land. Also I do realize the crestfallen warrior tells you about the bells and frampt also talks about linking the fire and getting the lord vessel. So we aren't complety/entirely lost, still tho it isn't the most clarifying of details. Please feel free to comment what you think or share any ideas about souls,either the common white ones or the bosses special souls. Thank you for reading this! may Lord Gwyns blessing be upon thee.
