You guys are right about the Vex terraforming and the Hive being the strongest dark, but you are missing is that they aren't the Darkness. The Hive worship Oryx. The shrine for him looks like like a planet. The surface seems like the area shown at the black garden. Also, in the Thorn cards, it shows a minion of Darkness being spawned, but not Vex. The Hive were spawned from the Vex. The only remaining organic matter of the Vex is their minds. Their bodies are the Hive. The Darkness was spawned from the Vex's anger. The Vex couldn't wield it though, so they animated their original organic matter.
