Oh I'm not exactly with the demon war theory. The timeline of these several historical events are unclear, but we can imply something.

For example, it is almost certain the black knight have fought demons at some stage(anyway their weapons deal extra damage, while the silver knights' weapons do not), so the event of Izalith's fall may happen while Anor Londo was still powerful (i.e. well before Gwyn's death).

Oolacile's perish might be a relatively later event, as Artorias met his perishness there, while Gough and Ciaran's dialogue hinted that Gwyn's army might begin to fall apart at that time. So Oolacile's fall could happen after Gwyn's death.

New Londo's disaster might have happened earlier, as Artorias was active in that event and surely have survived (he received an honor for fighting darkwraiths, which was assumed to come from Gwyn himself).

For Solaire, I'm not saying he must be or must not be related to the firstborn, but the game surely intend to hint (or blur) this relation.

He says he was an adherent of Gwyn, which does not directly show which era he came from, but quite likely that his timeline was close to Gwyn's death.

He also compared the sun to a magnificient father, which could either be understood as a refer to personal relationship, or a refer to Lord Gwyn as a mytho or some great historical person.

So was his motive to find his own sun. Everything of him has at least to ways to interpret, either he was Gwyn's son or decendant, or he was a human that adored Gwyn very much.
