I think that's a very nice way of putting it. With no alignment or moral code within the game, it's really up to individuals to decide what to do next, and some characters may decide that the world needs a new Empire of Light, while others will just want to get back to their hometown to see who survived the Night of Fire.
The heroic themes are there if the players want to be heroes, and I hope that they do
Likewise, if they turn out to be less than heroic, then the campaign could turn quite dark. Personally, I'd hope for campaigns that examine personal themes in either case.
