Reasonable theories. Thanks for the imput!

Not sure about the rotting on the inside though. One theory I had was that Elana was building the poison inside Sinh herself for whatever reason, but honestly, her motivations prior to Yorgh's attack are hazy at best (and what's up with the Velstadt summon? So many questions!).

I'd actually toyed around with the notion that the soul you acquired from Sinh was absorbed from Yorgh considering you make Yorgh's Spear from it and that the Guardian Dragons were creations of Aldia using a soul as an anchor, much like the false Ancient Dragon, but I'm not sure. What of the Soul of the Ancient Dragon itself? It is supposedly the soul of the REAL Ancient Dragon.

You make a good point about the First Flame potentially granting souls to the dragons. After the Lord Souls were found amongst the First Flame, the dragons were killed by Gwyn and his ilk, so it is a possibility. The problem I have with this notion is the fact that no dragon-kin in Dark Souls dropped a soul (sans the basic souls acquired from all enemies, which is what I'd always assumed were the souls they'd gathered like you mentioned before). I thought it was an eloquent way of granting boss weapons from dragons without breaking the lore that they existed before the concept of souls. With the advent of Dark Souls II, I've been questioning the lore of the series and how well the relatively new director understood Miyazaki's little lore details.
