Saint Crunathan's Subterranean Confraternity of Esoteric Erudition (Gaelic: An Comhaltas na Naoimh Cruithnechánn...) is a religious institution of higher education affiliated with the Insular Apostolic Church and located in a system of underground caverns in County Clure, Kiorgia. The Confraternity itself has been a lay association since Template:H:title, but is closely associated with a community of Apostolic monks who have been living in the same cave system for centuries and provide most of the Confraternity's teaching staff.
Saint Crunathan's dates back to the time of the Cromwelute Depredations, when churches and monasteries were favoured targets of Cromwelute raiding parties, spurring many monastic communities to move to safer locations in the Eastern Highlands, bringing their priceless collections of saintly relics, manuscripts, devotional art, and vestments along with them for safekeeping. The caves at Saint Crunathan's were considered especially secure, due to their inaccessible location, and as such a great many ecclesiastical treasures were deposited there during the Cromwelutes' reign of terror.
