I noticed something in DSIII, in the Lightning Bolt description.

These bolts are likely artifacts of the dragonless era, when the pact between gods and humans was upheld.

Do you grasp this?

What if THIS is why the humans no longer use their power? What if this is why the Pygmy no longer exists?

What if after Gwyn burned in the First Flame, the humans and the gods had a truce of some kind, having been rendered powerless by the rejuvinated Age of Fire? I have no certainty, but I picture this.

With the fading flame, the primeval humans can overpower the weakening gods, but the linking of the First Flame tips the scales. Now that they are powerless, the humans have a parley with the gods, and submit to their will for fear of death. This goes through the generations as reverance, a sort of noble lie that prevents the destruction of the human race, and eventually results in a generation of humans totally subservient to the will of the gods.

Completly speculative, but it could be something.
