'''Līlasuṃghāṇa''' ("[place of] singing ''nāmñē'' cubs"; [[Chlouvānem]] pronunciation: {{IPA|[ɴ̆iːɴ̆ɐsũgʱäːɳɐ]}}; Līlasuṃghāṇi vernacular: '' | '''Līlasuṃghāṇa''' ("[place of] singing ''nāmñē'' cubs"; [[Chlouvānem]] pronunciation: {{IPA|[ɴ̆iːɴ̆ɐsũgʱäːɳɐ]}}; Līlasuṃghāṇi vernacular: ''Liesũḥa'' {{IPA|[ˈɴ̆iə̯ʃũxɑ]}}; popularly shortened to <small>(Chl.)</small> ''Līlah'' {{IPA|[ɴ̆iːɴ̆ɐɦ]}} or <small>(vern.)</small> ''Liela'' {{IPA|[ˈɴ̆iə̯ɴ̆ɑ]}}) is the capital of the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Chlouvānem Inquisition]], the holy city of the ''[[Verse:Yunyalīlta|Yunyalīlta]]'', an ''eparchy'' (Chl.: ''ṭūmma'') within the diocese of ''Nanašīrama'', which it is also the episcopal seat of, and the largest city on [[Verse:Calémere|Calémere]], even though it is not, administratively, a single city. | ||
Līlasuṃghāṇa lies on the southeastern shore of Lake Lūlunīkam (an inlet of the Jahībušanī sea) in the Jade Coast, with most of the eparchy's area extending south along the southern branch of the Lake, formed by the clearwater Lanamilūki river coming from the wetlands and [[w:Várzea forest|várzeas]] of Talæñoya. Most of the area where the present-day core sectors of Līlasuṃghāṇa lie were formerly a swampland where the Ēmīlumi river ("river of tigers"), the Talitanah river ("cocoa river"), and the Rajālyāti river ("silver-black river") - all three blackwater - reach Lake Lūlunīkam. This former swamp, nestled between low forested hills and the shore, was mostly drained through centuries and is now one of the most densely populated pieces of land on Calémere. Despite lying just south of the 15th parallel north, Līlasuṃghāṇa has an equatorial rainforest climate with constant rainfall throughout the year and no distinct seasons. | Līlasuṃghāṇa lies on the southeastern shore of Lake Lūlunīkam (an inlet of the Jahībušanī sea) in the Jade Coast, with most of the eparchy's area extending south along the southern branch of the Lake, formed by the clearwater Lanamilūki river coming from the wetlands and [[w:Várzea forest|várzeas]] of Talæñoya.
