1.) It's very unlikely that Priscilla taught Havel how to create Occult Weaponry or created the Occult Ember. It can be speculated that Velka's Rapier pre-dates the Occult Rebellion since the Pardoners would have been in her service ever since she rose to power, meaning that the rapier would have been one of (if not) the first Occult Weapons. If that is the case it can be further implied that Velka is the source of Occult magic, which would make sense since the description for Karmic Justice describes her as a "black-haired witch".

2.) It's equally unlikely that any of the Occult Rebels attacked New Londo, quite the opposite actually. If you explore New Londo you'll notice that the area has statues that are an exact copy of the one depicting Velka in the Painted World of Ariamis, while it completely lacks statues depicting Gwyn or any other deity. What does this mean? I believe that the Four Kings were alligned with Velka and had intended to support the Occult Rebels by sending the Knights of New Londo to fight with them, maybe even joining the fight themselves, thought this never happened because Dark Stalker Kaathe taught them the power of Life Drain, ultimately corrupting them, before the rebellion began.

3.) How is it that Havel would have amassed a force to storm Anor Londo and transported them over the cities walls when the only reason the Chosen Undead was able to was by gargoyle transpo.?

4.) It was confirmed a long time ago that Solaire is NOT Gwyns Firstborn.
