Historians believe the North Songun civilization emerged out of a series of related settlements in and around southeastern [[Kelekona]]. Throughout its existence, the civilization was never completely centralized, instead including a wide number of polities and city-states, though at times several large kingdoms and empires did form in this space. The civilization spread both through the establishment of new colonies over time, as well as the subjugation of other indigenous peoples, particularly in [[Telonaticolan]] and [[Titechaxha]]. "Proto" North Songun civilization reached its traditional extent into those countries by around 500 BC, from which point development of the civilization would occur inward through a series of continuous reform and religious, social, and economic revolutions. The cities of the North Songun were noted for their urban planning, elaborate drainage systems, water supply systems, clusters of large non-residential buildings, and techniques of handicraft and metallurgy. Their economies were comparable to Occidental contemporaries, and the wealth of these civilizations allowed for a flourishing of art and literature. The North Songun civilization was the first in Crona to establish a lasting literary tradition, and its written histories provide most major insights to scholars regarding the history of pre-[[Aster's expedition|Asterian]] Crona.

For the latter part of its history, the states of the North Songun existed alongside, and then in opposition to, [[Varshan]]. The Anzo-based state emerged in the shadow of the North Songun before eventually overtaking it. Political instability in the North Songun began after major 13th century religious changes, a process which greatly weakened the states of the North Songun. Their wealth and relative weakness exposed them to [[The Hunt (Varshan)|the Hunts]], an annual Varshani raid that began in the 15th century and lasted through the 18th century in some form. The constant military pressure from Varshan, fragile political systems, and weakening economy led to the total collapse of all North Songun states by 1500 AD.

Today, [[Arcerion]], [[Kelekona]], [[Telonaticolan]], [[Titechaxha]], and [[Malentina]] occupy the majority of lands traditionally included within the extent of the North Songun civilization, and to a degree the people of the latter four countries are the descendants of the North Songun people.
