This is an old comment I know but I really like the topic of this.

It's hard to say honestly. They could be the same but only changed intermitently like the others say or the Abyss really is just a part of the dark that is just, hm.

You know now that I think about it hasn't there always been that sort of Lovecraftian idea that even in darkness there is yet an even deeper, stronger darkness? Something going along the lines of beyond dark or something. If we went with that line of thinking it makes sense that they're related but not quite the same. We all know that the Abyss has this tendency to cause humanity to go wild and twist humans into, y'know, eldritch like abominations that do nothing but cause destruction.

It makes sense to me if the Dark is indeed a place where man truly resides and is able to gain power from it but does not have true control over all of it. The Abyss could very well represent the part of the Dark that can not and never can be controlled and the corruption of Manus serves as an example of what could become of a human powerful enough to tap into it.
