My take on the ending for Dark Souls, is that the "Link the Fire" ending is to prolong things; just like Gwyn did. There will still be all the undead, and any humanity (not the item, but actual humans) will continue to be in danger, but the fire will protect them via loaning the power of The Lord Souls to the various gods mentioned in Dark Souls lore.

The Dark Lord ending involves disabling the ability to create the undead, but at the same time, blocking out the power of the gods protection. No more new undead will be created. This means that the humans can fight the undead, and it ends up being a gamble of who wins that final confrontation that decides who will rule the kingdom/world now. My character would be for the humans winning, and the "Dark Lord" ending is giving your life to aid the side of the humans, but the rest is up to them.

My belief is that this is what the Pygmy wanted all along, but lacked the ability to put it all into motion because when he was around the power of Gwyn's fire was still fresh, so he wasn't able overpower him with the Dark Soul. So instead, he A) passed it down through sacred magic to his descendent (the player), or B) split it into the humanity to allow same undead to reverse the effects of being undead to possibly become human once the curse of the bonfire was finally broken.

I just recently started getting into the lore, and honestly don't know all too much about it, so please correct me on anything I have wrong.
