Firstly sorry for all the posts but as I read I keep seeing new things I want to add. Secondly sorry if anything I post has already been answered. I am posting as I read through the thread.
@Acidic_Cook About your idea the everlasting dragons were once humans. Seath's soul is a lord sould. If we look at lord souls in that they enhanced a certain part of each person this adds credibility to your theory. Gwyn's lightning sorceries were his enancement, the witch had her fire sorceries enhanced and Nito was granted ht epower of necromancy/ the ability to grant necromancy to followers of his who had sufficient faith. Seath, as a human, got the lord soul of pure sorcery greatly enhancing his magic powers. Since in many contexts powrful sorcery is associated with dragons it makes sense for a being of extremeyl powerful sorcery to transform into a dragon. So Seath gets the soul, his power grows and he shapes himself into that of a dragon believng he will be immortal because of it.
Otherwise why would his soul be a lord soul and requiredfor the lordvessel? It would imply that every everlasting dragon had a lord soul. that may have been true but I think its unlikely.
Also in the prologue it mentions that "even now there are only embers". Could these embers mentioned be the embers you find in game? perhaps once these embers were flames, created from the first flame and are linked to its power. As the first flame fades so does the power of these embers.
Finally in reference to the location of the peculiar doll. It is unknown how long ago Tarkus died . If he did die just after leaving the painted world, and if him leaving the painted world occurred shortly before you were freed from the asylum, then perhaps his last surviving knight took the doll from him and tried to hide it from the world. he returned to the asylum where the undead are "locked away to await the end of the world". Here, surely the knight thinks, no one will find it, no one will return to the crossbreeds world. Perhaps tarkus found something in the painted world and ordered his knight to hide the doll so no one else would ever find it.
