So. . . Gwyndolin

I'm thinking that the "Souls" everybody refers to is some kind of standardized measurement, kind of like a liter or a volt. If the energy of the soul of a crystal lizard is one, then Gwyn's Lord Soul is worth, what, 20,000?

This is really the only way it makes sense. Good analogy.

But yet we see phantoms and the player amass more souls, so obviously the amount is increasing for them, so they couldn't have one stagnant soul.

Probably because as you level your own soul grows in value.

"There can be only one!" Much like how pouring two one liter bottles together gives you two liters, pouring two one soul souls together probably gives you a two soul soul. And so ends the strangest sounding sentence I have ever written.

clearly, the main character is Knightmare,

MORE SOULS

Man, I forgot what we were talking about.

Anyway, the Dark Lord is whoever kills Gwyn and extinguishes the fire. It's not necessarily a predestined person. If you choose to relight the fire, you obviously don't become the Dark Lord, right? There's a right of passage to becoming the Dark Lord, just like there's a right of passage to becoming Lord Gwyn's successor.

Also, why does everyone insist that Gwyn "blurred" your past, specifically. Gwyn's been gone for a millennium, I doubt the player character has been around long enough for Gwyn to directly interact with him. I've always thought of the blurred past as a conspiracy by the gods against humans, not by Gwyn against you specifically.
