As the Battle of Krotzka loomed on the horizon, the people of Istanbul, now accustomed to the magical transformations, felt a collective sense of pride and resilience. The Witch Army, bolstered by years of training and the city's enchantments, stood ready to defend the empire against the impending threat.

The triumph was not without its toll. The sacrifice of eight witches, integral members of Morgana's coven, underscored the high cost paid for the conquest. This poignant moment of loss left an indelible mark on Morgana, the Sultana, who, amidst the jubilation of victory, keenly comprehended the steep price extracted for every hard-fought mile gained.

# End of Witch Army

On July 24, 1739, faced with the toll of war and the loss of her witches, Morgana made a fateful decision. In a solemn ceremony, she ended the witch order and embarked on a journey to today's Armenia. There, she sought other warlocks reported to the Sultan as Vampire Killers, hoping to find allies who could bring a different kind of strength to the empire.

However, back in Istanbul, the Sultan faced a challenging task. Determined to recreate the formidable Witch Army, he initiated multiple attempts to replace the fallen members. Despite numerous endeavors, each effort ended in failure.

Amidst these challenges, Hatice Sultan, the daughter of the Sultan, took on the role of Vezir-Sultan in an attempt to continue Morgana's ideas. However, in an unfortunate accident, she lost control of a fireball, triggering the Great Fire of Istanbul. The blaze, fueled by magical energies, wrought havoc upon the city.

In the wake of this disaster, Ivaz Mehmed Pasha, Morgana's steadfast ally, found himself compelled to face the rebellion of the people. The circumstances forced him into a difficult position, and as tensions escalated, the Sultan dismissed him from his position on June 23, 1740.

With the dismissal of Ivaz Mehmed Pasha and the death of Hatice Sultan, the Sultan officially declared an end to the Witch Army. The once-mighty force, which had stood as a symbol of magical prowess and unity, was disbanded forever.
