Who is Battletide?

Millennia ago a conflict called "the Demonwars" resulted in the death of many demons in its battlefields. The souls of the dead merged into the Battlettide, a ghostly being seeking to absorb even more souls into itself. All souls who fell in battle were its targets. It also had an effect on the living in its vicinity, amplifying their adrenaline and driving them into an animalistic rage. Ensuring that ongoing battles would result in far more casualties than normal. The ghostly being was able to travel across space, drawn towards various conflicts. At some point it managed to wipe out most of the Temploids, a race of fierce warriors. The few survivors formed the Knights of the Tempered Brootherhood, dedicated to stopping it.
