The crones are old, and sacred. When they get diseases, and they will, they stop
healing after battle, start losing one hit point per turn (sometimes two) and will
eventually die. But when they are blessed in battle, Nature 4 on the pretender
gives them regeneration, and they will heal the hit points. If you give them a
shroud, they will be always blessed, and will thus always have regeneration, and
will stop losing hit points every turn. They will still need to enter battle
to heal the hit points lost before they got the shroud.

Oh, and I nearly forgot. The shroud will work on non-sacred as well. You can
use it to keep anyone alive, not just sacred commanders. But you still need to
have Nature 4 on your pretender. Hell, since old age made its appearance, I have
not played a game without a growth domain and Nature 4. Well, Arcoscephale may
do well without it, but their sacred still benefit a lot from the blessing.

And it's cheap! What's there not to like?
