I just thought of something, and I'd like to see what you guys think. What, if any, races actually make up the Darkness? The Fallen, from what I can gather, are a race of beings who, after a Golden Age-esque timeline, 'fell' and became a thinly spread race of space pirates. They definitely have some interesting technology, such as those eyeballs (read Servitors). They might just be trying to scrape by, or establish the beginnings of a new settlement. The Hive look like they are the obvious enemy- which I'm not doubting, they don't seem to be very peaceful- but they might just be pawns for a larger game, orchestrated by Oryx or Crota or some other malignant force. The Vex are the most intriguing to me, as much of the present story seems to be focused on them. From the information that is given, they seem to be almost built into the universe, as caretakers, or a cancer growing from the inside. But the two things that are really interesting are the Black Garden, and The Vault of Glass, the two major Vex hotspots so far discovered in the system. Did the Vex find the Black Garden through their exploration, were they formed by it, or did they create it? And why did the Black Heart "die" when the three statues were destroyed? The Vault, I don't know enough about to make any judgements. But it seems... removed... from the other vex strongholds. The Cabal: meh. They seem extremely straightforward to me: a military force intent on conquering as much of the universe as they can, much like a space-age Roman Empire, which seems to be the inspiration for their names. Tl;dr: I don't believe that the story of Destiny (as gutted as it is at the present) is as simple as good vs evil. There must be more.
