Yeah but in the Cathedral of the Deep, you can find a set of Drangleic Armor and a pair of Hammers, which state that the Drang Knights are "descendants from the land known for the legend of the Linking of the Fire."

Are we sure that it's the same armor set? Isn't the one in DSIII called the "Drang Set"? I can see how Drangleic can be inferred (the sets even look quite similar), but Im not so sure yet to claim the sets are the same sets. In addition, I don't think Irithyll was built over the areas you mentioned. Geographically speaking (and I could be absolutely wrong so please don't consider me challenging your knowledge) we can use the rotating platform (where the Gargoyle is in 1 and the BF is in 3) as a compass. To the "North" would be the stairs that lead to the boss (Gwyndolin in 1 and Aldritch in 3) making our entrance into Anor Londo from 1 to the South (being carried by the Lightning gargoyles) and our entrance into Anor Londo from 3 to the East (coming from the defeat of Pontiff and Irithyll). I feel this is important to recognize if we are going to try to understand the Lore, how things came to be, when they came to be, and connections between the two games. I do agree completely with you that DSII happened in another location. I kinda feel like it wasn't necessarily in the same era, but that there are several "DS universes" going through the same curse and we are just seeing the curse from the protagonist perspective. I'm going to look into the connections between the armor sets you mentioned. Good theory :)
