Kingdoms rose and fell, according to a lot of characters in the game, so it's highly likely that Vinheim fell and Drangleic is just the latest Kingdom to arise in its place. Still, subsequent Kingdoms would bear traces of its predecessors and alot of the Rings, Weapons, and Armors have to do with Dragons, and look an awful lot like the image on the Crest rings in DS1. yes, because vinheim was a complete and total black whole where as soon as you entered and obtained your ring you could never leave the place..... I would expect a place obsessed and controlled by the dragon obsessed to have a hell of a lot more and I doubt the amazing sorcerer's were going to NOT venture out into the world. also there were a shit ton of dragons in the first game, almost every area had a damn dragon in it. You saw one near the beginning of the game, also, if you find the same amount or similar equipment as that of DS1 it doesn't point to it being one or the other. The rings description is far closer to actual proof than any of this.
