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. | 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]].

In [[1798]], [[Caphiria]]n hawks became alarmed at the speed at which [[Levantia|Levantine]] influence crossed the width of [[Sarpedon]], increasing paranoia. | 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. | 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.
