Anyone know what this could be? Just a fun little Easter Egg? Only asking due to Nomad Colossus recently putting out a video showing what seems to be Lord Emon casting a horn into the pool to seal Dormin instead of the Ancient Sword (possibly from an early version of the game?).

If you remember, Ico had a language of its own, composed of several runes that could be translated. And this is clearly a rune from Ico (see chart for reference).
The rune that I saw was the S rune, which resembles a shower. Interestingly enought, when I googled the badge, I got this screenshot.
If you look at the chart yourselves, you will see that it is the N rune. The rune changes! So it either depends on the player or it is a secret message, that is unveiled as you progress the game. Maybe it is even related to the shield-mirror thing, or the number of barrels that you consume. I have tried a couple of things so far with no success, so I can only guess. Undoubtedly, it is a direct connection to the Ico universe and consequently it is the same universe as Shadow of Colossus as well, which is pretty amazing. I do believe that there is a secret message to it. What are you guys thoughts about it? |}
Hello, people of the universe! I have some wander lore for you guys, or should I say... Ico!
After turning wander into a horned infant, mono acts like a caring mother to wander, and gives him a new name: Ico. Over time they start to re-grow the forbidden lands with plants and animals. After a while, Argo dies (horses dont live forever, i know, sad story, #SaveTheAgro) Ico finds a way out. Enraged by her son's betrayal, she becomes starts to tear their home-the shrine-brick by brick. Eventually she finds a fragment of dormin ad she makes a deal with dormin. If she helps restore his power, she becomes the great ruler. Meanwhile, Ico has escaped and Found Trico, a beast in the bordring forests. The last guardian stuff happens and Then the horned boy is captured by the soldiers and rescues mono's new daughter. Its a little iffy, but I like it.
As a student of Simplified Chinese I think your assumption of the Eye in the letter I is quite right because Eye in Simplified Chinese is 眼 which pronuonciation is quite close to "Ién".
This idea has popped in my mind some time ago and I decided to share it.
What is the backstory of the Colossi?
A lot of people I know who play Shadow of the Colossus don't care but I do. What could the backstory of the Colossi be? What are they doing in the Forbidden Lands? Why are they there?
My theory is this:
A long time ago, the land of men was endangered by a large species of creatures. To protect themselves, men's most powerful mages used ancient runic magic to enchant the 20 swiftest, strongest and most powerful creatures in the land to protect them. These creatures grew to humongous sizes and gained runic armor. They were completely invincible to humans except for a few flaws in the enhancements. Sigils, these flaws were called. This way the Colossi were born.
The Colossi battled and defeated the creatures that endangered mankind. Now that men did not require the aid of the Colossi they attempted to destroy them, seeing them as dumb creatures. However, because of the enhancements the Colossi became much more than just the dumb creatures they were before. They had become wise creatures. The same mages who had created the Colossi created 3 magic swords that were able to destroy the Colossi by striking their Sigils. The Colossi found out and became enraged. The Colossi defended themselves fiercly but despite their attempts to defend themselves the humans managed to kill 4 of them. The Colossi destroyed 2 of the magic swords but decided to flee the land of mankind for their kind's sake. They fled to the Forbidden Lands, together with a small society of people who still believed that the Colossi were important and shouldn't be killed.
The Colossi spread to different parts of the Forbidden Lands along with some of their worshippers. Their leader, Malus, decided to go to the southern-most part of the Forbidden Lands and wanted the gateway to his area to be locked so that the Colossi's leader couldn't be killed. The worshippers build large buildings and temples in order to live in the Forbidden Lands.
Hundreds of years passed and the worshippers slowly but steady became extinct. The Colossi, however, were eternal. The last living worshipper, a powerful mage named Dormin, turned himself into pure dark essence. He then went and spread his essence to all of the Colossi and before the Colossi found out what happened it was to late. Dormin's essence was spread and thereby Dormin became immortal as well. The Colossi agreed to never trust men again, as even their most loyal worshipper turned against them in the end.
Then a young man showed up, a young man named Wander. Wielding the last magic sword forged to slay the Colossi. Easy to say, the Colossi quickly became enraged to see a human again. One wielding the blade that took the lives of 4 of them.
However, because Malus was locked away, he didn't notice the essence of Dormin flowing through him. Neither did he know about agreement to not trust humans anymore or did he know about the death of the other 15 Colossi.
When, after hundreds of years, a young human showed up at his gates Malus awoke again. First thinking of him as an intruder he decided to toy with him, using a bit of his immense power in the form of simple energy blasts. But when the young human showed enough courage to confront him, to climb him. Malus decided that he was interesting and maybe worth talking to. But before Malus could speak to him, the young man started to stab him. Hitting his only weakness with the one sword left that was able to kill him.
With the last of his powers, Malus cursed the young man. Cursing him so that his appearance would match his evilness, to kill such an old and wise creature without hesitation.
And now, after hundreds of years. The tale of the Colossi has ended.
I personally would be interested in a game being released about the battle between the Colossi and the mysterious creatures. A game in which the back-story of the Colossi would be explained or something. Tell me how you think about the story and what your suggestions are.
