On the point of Drangleic having seas and cardinal directions, I want to point out that Ash Lake exists. Ash Lake appears to be a whole world below Lordran, and it's not too far fetched that Drangleic might be the same. Cardinal directions could just be relative to the whirlpool, since Drangleic isn't all that large in the end.

As for the bonfire, it is not lit, as far as I can tell, until the Warped Sword is placed. With that in mind, I'd say the visit to the Kiln is a physical one. Especially since you can leave at any time through warping.
