Here's my take on the Gravelord.
Death only began to occur when Fire came into existence; as such, Nito was the first thing to die, hence First of the Dead. However, by the time the events of Dark Souls occur the flame that has kept everything going is slowly dying.
Think about it: Without the flame, everything will return to the state it once was. Fog, and Everlasting Dragons (or if not that, then the Dark Lord). Without the Flame, there is no jeat, nor cold, light, nor dark, the passage of time just stops, and there is no life, nor death. Just eternity. Death is pretty much everything to Nito. It's how he came to be, it's his dominion of influence. Without the Flame, whether he continues to exist or not, death will disappear because the Flame is what's keeping it around. So by this logic (if one can call my babblings logical)...
Does Nito want you to win? Should we take solace in the fact that during the fight with the Gravelord, his heart isn't in it?
I'll probably have a few more questions like these, though related to all the lore.
