The North Songun civilization was a Cronan civilization established in classic antiquity existing through the Occidental Renaissance, whose primary achievements and existed occurred during the Occidental medieval period. The civilization, the richest and most advanced in Crona of its contemporaries, flourished on the north shore of the Songun Sea, from which it derives its name.
| Alternative names | Songunese civilization |
|---|---|
| Geographical range | Northern coast of the Songun Sea, south of modern Varshan |
| Period | Medieval Crona |
| Dates | c. 500 BC – c. 1500 AD |
| Followed by | Varshan |
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-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 the arrival of the Occident, a process which greatly weakened the states of the North Songun. Their wealth and relative weakness exposed them to the Hunts, an annual Varshani raid that began in the 15th century and lasted through the 18th century. 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, and Titechaxha occupy the majority of lands traditionally included within the extent of the North Songun civilization, and to a degree the people of the latter three countries are the descendants of the North Songun people.

Post-Songun civilization
The term "post-Songun civilization" has been used by some cultural scholars to refer collectively to the culture of middle Crona - especially modern Kelekona, Telonaticolan, and Titechaxha. All three states claim a cultural heritage from the North Songun civilization, but the post-medieval heavy influence of Varshan and the Occident transformed the culture of these peoples to a distinct heritage from their ancestors.
