Pretty sure the Witch screwed up because she didn't know about humanity. The Pigmy was believed to be a rather small secret, correct? Bonfires are kindled by humanity, and since bonfires seem to be linked to the First Flame, it's pretty clear to me it's fueled by it, along with souls.

The Flame of Chaos scales with humanity, so to say, so there's our hint a true "First Flame 2.0" requires humanity. Or, fragments of the Dark Soul. Just as Oolacile inhabitants, the offspring of the FoC are rather demonic, indicating that something about the humanity went wrong. Would the Witch have had a lot of humanity like the chosen undead, or some knowledge about it, perhaps she wouldn't have failed.
