[{(SPOILERS)}] Theory: What did Vendrick steal from the Giants' homeland? Now, I've yet to beat the game, but I found something that is a real centerpoint for the lore floating around. You find the shattered remains of the Lordvessel within the lowest level of the abandoned mansion in Majula. It's been there for what has probably been since the start of the spread of the curse of the undead. It's obvious that a lot of people have been going between Drangleic and Lordran. And with Nashandra being a tiny sliver of Manus, she could easily have manipulated Vendrick into doing what she wanted, and what she wanted was the First Flame. She told Vendrick of the oncoming war against the giants, and since this war came about by Vendrick stealing something, that something must have been the key to entering the Kiln of the First Flame to begin with: the Lordvessel. That's an extremely powerful artifact and would no doubt anger anyone who loses possession of it, that anyone being an entire civilization of Giants. As the war between Drangleic and the Giants ensued, there was some heavy arguing between Nashandra and Vendrick. Vendrick was angry about what was happening, he was angry about what Nashandra led him to do. In his fit of rage he took the Lordvessel to the what-was-once a no doubt very important or discreet area that was either under or above ground, the dilapidated structure found at the bottom of the abandoned mansion in Majula. He takes the Lordvessel and shatters it into many pieces. The lord souls within it were still burning brightly, yet they were on their last legs. Even with their severely diminished power, they were still to mighty not to exist, and therefore took on a physical form: The Lost Sinner (the Witch of Izalith crawling into the Sinner's eye, possibly sharing a symbiotic relationship) The Rotten (Gravelord Nito) and The Duke's Dear Freja (Seath the Scaleless.) With these new forms, also came with it was the curse of the undead. The breaking of the Lordvessel released the same abnormal power that had caused the curse in Lordran when Gwyn burnt himself in the Kiln. (I edited the Majula and Lordvessel pages to include the info about the remains in the abandoned mansion, feel free to move the info around or put it in a more reasonable place.)
