Political map of [[Kandara]]
'''Levantine Creep''' is a series of related social phenomenon and theories in [[Sarpedon]], both related to the expansion of [[Urcea]] and the general spread of [[Levantia|Levantine]] influence. It has significantly influenced the historic view of [[Levanto-Sarpic relations]] in Sarpedon. 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 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]].

==History of Levantine Creep==
 
The origins of Levantine Creep are unclear, but a sense of the threat of Levantines already existed in aristocratic circles of [[Caphiria]] by the [[Great Schism of 1615]]. The now-discredited historical theory of a [[Venceian Crusade]] likely originates to this time and speaks to the perceived danger of Levantines for Sarpedonian society. It was likely significantly enhanced in 1782, when [[Urcea]] intervened in the [[Veltorine War of Independence]] against [[Caphiria]], committing forces from the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] on [[Sarpedon]] for the first time in history besides the [[Crusades]]. As a consequence of Urcean support, the [[House de Weluta]] was rewarded with the Kingdom of [[Talionia]] following the conclusion of hostilities. Talionia induced a brief "Urcean Scare" in [[Caphiria]] which dramatically enhanced the conspiratorial and what some have called "paranoid" nature of the Levantine Creep theory. Talionia served as a "forward operating base" to guarantee the independence of [[Veltorina]] against [[Caphiria]]n reconquest. It was during this period that Caphirians began to emphasize the Venceian Crusade theory while altering the historian perception of the other Crusades as examples of Levantine meddling in the affairs of the continent.
 
In [[1798]], [[Caphiria]]n hawks became alarmed at the speed at which [[Levantia|Levantine]] influence crossed the width of [[Sarpedon]], increasing paranoia. In [[1851]] the Duchy of Bourgondi had defeated the County Palatine of Estia and in [[1853]], with the Principality of Faramount, formed the Burgundie-Faramount Union. This consolidation of power of two of the wealthiest maritime principalities of southern [[Levantia]] and its alliance with its chief rival, the Duchy of Martilles in [[1856]] led to a panic in [[Caphiria]] the an age of unpresidented Levantine Creep was dawning. So in [[1858]], [[Caphiria]] invaded [[Oustec]] to protect the community of Latin-speaking cities there, kicking off the [[Odurian War]].
 
Urcea's focus on the [[Caroline Wars]] in the 18th and 19th century decreased fears of an imminent Urcean invasion somewhat, but the Caphirian theory of Levantine Creep entered its modern form during the [[Occidental Cold War]], when it became the official state rationale for the nation's geopolitical opposition to Urcea. With the [[Assumption Accords]] and end of the Cold War, many have surmised that the "Creep" phenomenon in Caphirian society has entered into decline.
 
==Comparable global phenomenon==
While the individual grievances of each nation in [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]] regarding Levantine Creep are unique they are all generally pointing to on phenomenon, the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] and its remnant in [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]], [[La Garrote]].
 
Despite not being the first external colonial force to arrive in either [[Alshar]] or [[Audonia]], the [[Levantia|Levantine]] states that make up the modern day [[Burgundie]] were the most pervasive colonizers, resource and human labor exploiters, and settlers on those continents.
 
They influenced and impacted political, economic, cultural, and religious life well beyond the bounds of just their own colonies and were/are resented for it. The [[Bergendii]] were particularly adept at taking advantage of native squabbles, infighting, familial disputes, vanity, greed to manipulate their way into power over approximately a quarter of the total landmasses of both continents.
