Wesley Wyndam-Pryce:  " The shroud was woven by the head priest , said to have been driven mad by the demon himself . Once Rahmon was defeated , the priest dyed the shroud with the blood of seven virgin women , sacrificed on the first full moon , then laid it upon Rahmon 's body , in order to prevent his resurrection " .
Cordelia Chase: Why is always virgin women who have to do the sacrificing .
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: For purity I ' spose .
Cordelia Chase: This is nothing to do with purity . This is all about dominance , buddy . You can bet that if someone ordered a male body part for religious sacrifice , the world would be atheist , like that !
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: The shroud supposedly absorbed Rahmon 's power .
Cordelia Chase: So he who has the shroud has the power . You said Rahmon was a drive - you - mad kinda fella ?
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Ooh .
Cordelia Chase: I hate it when you do that .
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Once in _ 1803 _ , the shroud was removed from its casing .
Cordelia Chase: And yuckiness ensued ?
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Well , yes . The entire population of El Encanto went insane . Mothers and children hacking one another to pieces , men roaming the streets like rabid dogs ...
Cordelia Chase: I get the picture . So , in order to take his mind off the torment that is Darla , we sent Angel after a box that makes you crazy .
Cordelia Chase: Worse case scenario : We 'll warn Angel off it , before they steal the shroud .
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Just as soon as he comes back . Unless , of course , they 're stealing it right now .
