'''Levantine Creep''' is a series of related social phenomenon and theories, both related to the expansion of [[Urcea]] and the general spread of [[Levantia|Levantine]] influence. The first, more common "Levantine Creep" is a {{wp|conspiracy theory}} narrative in [[Caphiria|Caphirian]] discourse to describe an alleged conspiracy that [[Urcea]] and its allies aim to harm, weaken or annihilate the societal system of Caphiria by “building a ring of colonies and concession states to ensnare Caphirian interests”, disrupting the traditional system of [[Imperial Diplomacy (Sarpedon)|Imperial Diplomacy]]. The perpetrators of the conspiracy are alleged to be ''mentiens latius'' (false Latins), itself stemming from another historical conspiracy. While the theory of the Levantine Creep is predominant in Caphiria, it has been slowly spread throughout [[Sarpedon]] as a result of the growth of Caphirian influence on the continent.

The second "Levantine Creep" describes an observed expansion of [[Levantia|Levantines]] into [[Crona]], beginning with [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] interests in the south and growing with [[Urcea|Urcean]] interests in the north. "Levantine Creep" in this context also refers to a social phenomenon within [[Urcea]] of the so-called "inexorable draw of the land of opportunity" of [[New Harren]] and [[Crona]] in general, leading to widespread interest in migration eastward.

The origin of the Caphirian concept dates back to the mid 17th century, during the [[War of Urlazio]] where the coastal strip of the island of Urlazio was taken under Urcean control as a way to create a buffer between the two countries. This, as well as Urcean support for [[Veltorina|Veltorine]] independence in the late 18th century, contributed to a negative perception of Urcean interests and would spark several centuries of animosity between Caphiria and Urcea.  
The origin of the Caphirian concept dates back to the 17th century and various Levantine interventions against the [[Great Schism of 1615]], although Caphirian opposition to Levantine influence predated and in part influenced the schism. This, as well as Urcean support for [[Veltorine people|Veltorine]] independence in the late 18th century during the [[Veltorine War of Independence]], contributed to a negative perception of Urceo-Levantine interests and would spark several centuries of animosity between Caphiria and Urcea, culminating in the [[Great Wars]].
