My interpretation of the Darkness grimoire cards
So from what I can gather the darkness isn't a force or and army but the inevitable war between all things. There is no light and dark or good and evil just 2 nations, 2 queens, 2 armies and only one can rule, like the 'war' between atoms and primordial broth only one can go on and all that come after will be descendants of the winner but no matter who wins there will always be more war it is inevitable this is the true darkness. The darkness is law it's the blind law that Toland rambles about not a army or a force but law, this law is that there can only ever be one ruler one state of being not 2 or 3 or 4 ONE. And we as guardians are just the pawns of these great queens, the undead army whose only purpose is war the only choice we get is whose side we are on. This is the darkness, this is destiny.

I see the darkness as a physical manifestation of the antithesis of the traveler, it seems as if the hive are apart of the true darkness and spawned such creatures of the darkness (we'll learn more as we expand on the hive pantheon). My theory is that the vex were originally part of the traveler's side, a creation of the traveler given domain over time, matter, and the laws of the universe (hence the reason they can manipulate it, plus the translucent liquid within them). The black garden was most likely a relic of the darkness hence the reason they worshipped it. Atheon most likely became neutral in the wake of this (I feel like there was a vex schism) and therefore he is in the vault for the desire to escape the conflict (or the traveler placed him there in an attempt to limit the vex's power sort of like satan banished to earth) hence the reason the sol progeny (disciples of the darkness in a sense) seek to open the vault and gain the powers of atheon. All in all I believe the darkness to be a physical manifestation to that which is the opposite of the traveler, which is why oryx can control the darkness to overtake someone [i]willing[/i] or someone [i]of[/i] the philosophical belief system of the darkness and therefore control them and their willpower.
