Disagree for the following reasons:

1) The Seal of Fire mentioned was on the Ringed Knights' armor and bodies, as told in the item descriptions.

2) The Ringed Knights are stated to be early humans, whose contributions towards the Dragon War were never lauded.

3) The Darksign is explicitly stated in the Japanese intro to DS1 to emerge on the bodies of Humans.

4) The Seal of Fire and Darksign execute the same function; to restrain the innate power of Humans that comes with their attunement to the Abyss.

5) The Darksign combusts Humanity/souls and causes the victim to eventually go totally Hollow; Bonfires are known to be able to burn Humanity to bolster their strength. The same mechanism (reinforcement of fire via combustion of Dark) can be seen when triggering Ringed Knight Weapon Arts.

Therefore: Seal of Fire = Darksign.
