I think the members of the Way of the Night revered the giants as gods, being that most of them weren't "Giants" at all, more so the first undead to claim their souls, since souls obviously correspond with size (Vendrick is fucking huge) which also explains why Gwyn could hollow, but with that being said, since he and his fellow giants were the first hollows given life, he would've had first hand experience with how horrifying the dark age is, so he would probably do all he can to subvert it, including making a way for later humans to fear it, making it harder for the chosen undead who would one day bring about the age of dark to accomplish his goal.
