The daughters of chaos make a decent place to start talking about the lore in this game and how it's conveyed. After you take out Quelaag, you get her soul as an inventory item, and the description tells you that she's one of the daughters of the Witch of Izalith from the intro, one of the four great lords of old, but that she has now transformed into a Chaos Demon. If you do happen upon the secret room where the Fair Lady is hidden, and you have the Old Witch's Ring, you get her dialog that indicates Quelaag was taking care of her. You can also join her covenant and become a Servant of Chaos, whose ranks you can move up through by feeding humanity to the Fair Lady, which in turn implies the reason Quelaag attacks you - like the red spirits of other players that invade you, she's trying to attack undead to take their Humanity, but she's doing that to help her sister. You as the player can't get through the game without killing Quelaag, but you can replace that part of her role if you want.

Going further ahead, I made my way to the Demon Ruins, which is so flooded with lava that it's impossible to proceed - however you can go through a fog door and find another boss, who goes by the euphemistic-sounding name of Ceaseless Discharge. He's a giant, sad-looking lava demon. He won't attack you unless you hit him first - he will just stand by an altar and pay you no mind. If you loot the corpse on that altar, though, then Ceaseless Discharge will attack, and he'll be permanently aggressive any time you come back. The corpse is carrying the Gold-Hemmed Black set, and the description for that says it belonged to Quelana, the inventor of pyromancy and another daughter of the Witch of Izalith. Obviously that strongly implies that she was important to Ceaseless Discharge in some way - but that's as much as you can find out right now. I didn't take out CD. It's not necessary until later and I was doing just as little damage to him as I was to Quelaag, so I just high-tailed it out of Blighttown, through the exit to the Valley of Drakes and then New Londo and back to Firelink Shrine.

The pool of water at the shrine itself was now drained away because the floor had opened forward like a stone door, and a giant goat-headed snake was reaching up through the space. He introduced himself as the Primordial Serpent, Kingseeker Frampt, and told my character that because he had rang the Bell of Awakening, it was his destiny to succeed Gwyn, which would require him to go through Sen's Fortress to get something called the Lordvessel. That sounds like a sweet deal, so that was where I went next - stopping on the way to visit the blacksmith and buy a repairbox this time.
