This religious tradition stressed the importance of the natural world, and eschewed a spiritual afterlife as commonly understood by most religions. Instead, it posited the existence of a physical underworld below the sea while a physical afterlife beyond the sea. In some early stories from this period, people could occasionally {{wp|reincarnation|return}} from the Land Abroad, albeit in a form altered by the gods and with no memory of their journey. Most proto- and early North Songun settlements along the sea are archaeologically characterized by large numbers of human remains placed off-shore. This, combined with surviving narratives, confirms that pre-Nahibians believed that individuals would either sail to the afterlife or sink to the underworld in a physical way. This belief inspired North Songunites to send the condemned abroad on what became known as [[Heaven Ships]], in hopes that these criminals or undesirables would still be guided to the afterlife despite their sins in this life. | This religious tradition stressed the importance of the natural world, and eschewed a spiritual afterlife as commonly understood by most religions.

Religious scholars generally do not agree about how extensive the "pre-Nahibian consensus" was throughout Crona. A minority view expresses that it was functionally as far north and west as Anzo and the future [[Varshan]]i heartland, citing similarities between Kinichzo, Hunautab, and early aspects of Arzalism's [[Orthodox_Arzalism#The_Raid_God|Raid God]]. A small majority view says pre-Nahibianism only spread about as far as the later full extent of the North Songun civilization. | |||
