there are many theories, one is that it was built on top. I'd go for the one where is in the future and the king just built a kingdom based on what he saw in the ruins of lordan. Since it said that vendrick defeated the 4 great souls and build a kingdom from their power meaning beat the same boss you did(or at least the main ones) like you did in darksouls 1. Which makes me question did the first you fail, if you did the lord vassal still has to be placed since you can warp from bonfires? One question I have what did vendrick take from the giants? The thing he wanted to keep safe, or whatever the shield says.
