Maybe Dark Souls 3 is about two opposing events.

One being the possibly just about to start Age of Dark, and the second one being the elongation of an almost faded Age of Fire.

We know that our character opposes these 'Lords of Cinder' in the game, maybe they want to prolong the age of fire, just like gwyn did. So basically our character and the general populace of the game are aware of the true nature of humanity, i.e If they go undead, they become linked to the fire until they go full hollow.

So this game will probably primarily focus on how to get rid of ourselves of the flame and the curse itself. The Age of Dark was secondary and will remain secondary. This is because humanity doesn't exactly know what they'll become after that age starts, so they'd rather just end their current curse instead of try to bring about an Age of Dark. That being said, the game's secondary ending ( if there are two ) will show what the age of dark really is.. assuming the above said statements.

In the game's behind-the-doors demo, we encounter this Dancer of the Frigid Valley. This boss's intro come with a strong flame, so that may mean he/she is a previous Lord of Cinder or atleast related to him/her.

That further reinforces my theory
