LORE SPECULATION (SPOILERS, CONNECTIONS TO THE IRON KEEP)

I am 99% positive that this is the Princess of the Bell-Keeper covenant.

The giant mutants in the water leading to her boss room drop bell-keeper shields. Additionally the doors to the left and right of her fog gate can only be opened with a key that is only obtainable by going through the Belfry Luna. The Belfry Luna is also the "Princess's" Bell.

The Prince is the Smelter Demon from the Iron Keep.

The second Belfry in the game, the Belfry Sol, is located in the Iron Keep. This is the "Prince's" Bell, so we know that the Old Iron King's son is the same Prince as the one from the Bell Keeper Covenant. We also know that the Old Iron King's forces were obsessed with fighting the undead curse by hunting them and locking them up.

Heide's Tower of Flame leads into the wharf where undead were shipped to imprisonment in the Lost Bastille. The enemies in Heide's Tower of Flame are also very similar to those paladin type enemies fought in the Iron Keep. So I think that Heide's Tower and the Keep are connected. Perhaps the Old Iron King or the Prince's real name was Heide.

So here is what I think happened.

The Old Iron King and the Prince are trying to fight the undead curse and imprison undead.

The Princess (Lost Sinner) tries to help by using Izalith's Great Soul (released from the Lordvessel) to attempt to reignite the first flame. This would hopefully break the undead curse.

This fails and creates all of the new demons that we fight in this game.

The Prince is turned into the Smelter Demon, and then deceives his father into sinking the rest of the Iron Keep into the lava.

The Princess (Lost Sinner) locks herself up in the Bastille out of guilt.

She fights in the dark because the symbolic deprivation of light/fire is part of her punishment.

Thoughts?
