If, as you say, the fight of Good puts you only against a very specific number of heresies, does that mean that we can look forward to the Dawnspear soon placing (or rather, restoring) an absolute ban on the hunting of those who do not follow those heresies, even if they do not personally serve the Light?
If, as you say, Fire and Light are the protectors of everyone who is part of Creation (and does not act against her), does that mean that we can look forward to the Dawnspear enemying those who hunt such individuals?
If, as you say, your opposition is purely to Evil, Chaos, and Darkness, does that mean that we can look forward to the Dawnspear soon allowing within its walls those shamans who do not follow any of those, but merely seek to deal with the spirits to the benefit of both our world and theirs (and thus of Creation as a whole)?

The goals of Fire and Light, as you describe them, are noble indeed; I eagerly await the sight of actions and policies that match them.

P.S. If, as you say, your goal is to build a better tomorrow, then would it not be more profitable, instead of responding to all opposition with violence, perhaps be a bit more discriminating? To those who willfully enslave, slay, or deceive others for personal gain (or in the name of one of the Divine), or whose goal for Creation is one that will weaken it, violence may be the only recourse, but there are many who do not worship Chaos, but use its powers out of the belief that such use poses no threat to Creation. For such individuals, you may find it more profitable to engage in logical discussion to show them the error in their understanding (or, if it turns out that such usage does not in fact pose a threat, be shown the error of your own understanding, and then be able to better focus your energies against true threats to Creation. I personally do not know enough to determine who is right; I know merely that logical discussion is a more profitable approach to such determination than violence is.)
