It would make more sense to me to assume that "The East" are two different locations within the two games, since after, it's not specifying which eastern land Shiva and Alonne came from. For all we know, Shiva came from the Dark Souls equivalent of Japan, whilst Alonne came from the equivalent of China. Both would be considered eastern regions and have some weapon/armour similarities, but they are clearly not the same.

Perhaps what might be a better idea is to rename the page to "The East", since it cannot be proven that Shiva and Alonne are from the same region. Whilst they may share similar armaments, they could well have come from different regions, whilst still being in the generic eastern direction.
