Pious Wisdom
The Pious Wisdom was a Pious galley operating in the southern Draconic Ocean in the early Second Age.
Description
Like all craft in the Pious Armada, the Pious Wisdom was somewhat crudely made. She came well-supplied with crew, however, more than 300 apiece but many of these were not true sailors but instead Flocks – the devoted peasantry that comprised so much of the Sixfold Faith's early volunteer forces. Her sails were white and bore upon them a golden emblem – the Sign of the Six.History
Second Age
Constructed in 60 2A, the Pious Wisdom was among five similar ships built in Piety, the beginnings of the church's fleet. It conducted a few missions across the Sea of Six Gods. In 67 2A, the Wisdom was eventually dispatched to Vhakizla, to blockade the Heartvein River and prevent any aid coming to the dracolich from Thanatos or anywhere else. When the Silver Saber arrived, ferrying the Menagerie to their contract in Vhakizla, the mercenaries launched a surprise attack. They showering the Pious Strength with alchemist's fire and boarded the Wisdom. After a bloody battle, the ship was pacified. The ship – and her surviving crew – were then handed over to Zelene Silvers to be ransomed back to Piety.Campaigns

Following a brief parley with Shepherd Visiah, they were ordered by their undead patron to break the blockade. (Chapter 2) No sooner had the sun set, however, than the ship was boarded and captured by the alliance of mercenaries and pirates. (Chapter 3)
