Wisdom is a Power Sword and an ancient holy relic of the Blood Ravens Chapter.[1a]

The weapon has been borne into battle by countless champions and heroes of the Chapter over the millennia, back to the earliest days of the Blood Ravens history. It was wielded by Captain Davian Thule, during the First Aurelian Crusade, when he was struck down by Tyranids on Calderis and Wisdom could not be found by Thule's Battle Brothers, as they evacuated the wounded Captain to safety. Though it was feared to be lost by the Blood Ravens,[1a] Wisdom had been secretly taken by a Rogue Trader during the fighting on Calderis[1b] and sold to[1c] Vandis, the Planetary Governor of the planet Meridian, who often paid the Rogue Trader to obtain such exotic items for his personal collection. Wisdom would remain in Vandis's hands, until the Blood Ravens came to Meridian to defend it against a Tyranid invasion and it was later taken from the Governor, by an enraged Force Commander Aramus[1a]. Aramus would wield Wisdom for the remainder of the Crusade and felt that every enemy he killed with it, helped cleanse the Power Sword of any corruption it had gathered while in Vandis's possession. After the Crusade was won, Aramus returned Wisdom to the Blood Ravens high command, so they could find a worthy champion to wield it.[1d]
