The world around the North Songun civilization had changed dramatically during the Rotten Century. [[Aster's expedition]] had exposed [[Crona]] to the [[Occident]], precipitating major changes throughout the rest of the continent. The arrival of Aster and others brought about dramatic change in neighboring Varshan. The [[Zurgite_Varshan#Žuqulid_Revolution|Žuqulid Revolution]], beginning in around [[1408]], changed Varshan's footing to one of war and conquest. In the preceding centuries, it had eclipsed its North Songun neighbors in population, dwarfing the war-wearied North Songun people in terms of military prowess and capability. Accordingly, the once wealthy and still populous North Songun became targets of [[The Hunt (Varshan)|the Hunt]] - a seasonal raid by Varshani forces into the lands of the North Songun for slaves and monetary plunder. | The world around the North Songun civilization had changed dramatically during the Rotten Century.

===Aftermath=== | |||
By 1500, all states which could have conceivably been defined as North Songunite were destroyed, both by Varshan's annual raiding as well as by other neighbors. The territory remained divided, allowing several neo-Songunite uprisings to occur throughout the 1500s, especially as the successors and neighbors of the region continued to be harassed by Varshani raiders. By [[1580]], the North Songun corridor had become something of a perpetual warzone, which not only complicated the function of the Hunts but created a problem for Varshan's border security. Accordingly, in [[1592]], Varshani armies on the Hunt did not return with slaves and plunder, but instead stayed within the former North Songun area for three years, establishing new tributaries with would solidify the area while making no resistance to the ongoing raids. Varshani families, as well as other peoples from the [[Nysdra Sea]] region, were imported to establish new ruling dynasties in the occupied territories, which would also include large numbers of displaced persons and slaves from other locations in [[Crona]]. The new tributary governments form the original basis for the modern states of [[Kelekona]] and [[Titechaxha]]. | |||
