I've done a couple of playthroughs, and have developed a pretty interesting theory. Many kingdoms have risen and fallen where Drangleic now stands. Not just one or two, but possibly dozens. I currently think, that in the far distant past, Lordran stood where Drangleic now stands. But, rather than thinking maybe a few hundred years have past, I propose that, possibly, it has been thousands of years since the events of Dark Souls. Look at our world, for an example of why this makes sense. We still remember the names of gods our ancestors worshipped 5,000 years ago. We still recall the myths and stories surrounding them. But, double that, and we haven't got but bits and pieces of what humans worshipped back then. I believe that, regardless of whether they are in the same place, that 10,000 or so years have passed since the first game. So, its reasonable to think that they could take place in the same geographical area. However, so much time has past, that hardly any traces remain that haven't been built over or remodeled in the image of the countless kingdoms that have risen and fallen over each other.

One particular area that stands out to me is Brightstone Cove. With its glowing crystals, it vaguely reminds me of Seath's crystal caverns. This is only more strongly reinforced considering the Old One that inherited his soul, the Paledrake's Soul, lives there.

This is part of why I love this series, picking apart the lore. I'm not saying I'm right, this is just part of my theory concerning some of the Dark Souls 2 lore.
