I agree that Lordran is a dangerous place. When I said that it was a sanctuary for the Undead it was within the context of the Undead hunts that go on in the outside world. If an undead decides to ring the bells of awakening and fulfill the prophecy, they will be met with a lot of hostility from within Lordran, but for different reasons than simply being afflicted with the curse of the Undead. If they have no interest in the prophecy, it seems that those within Lordran wouldn't be bothered (at least if they stay in certain areas, like Firelink Shrine).
