The area around Lake Lūlunīkam, including the location of present-day Līlasuṃghāṇa, has been inhabited for millennia by tribes speaking languages such as Laiputaši or Old Kāṃradeši. In the early part of the 4th millennium, this area was outside the realms of the Kūṣṛmāthi civilization but in its sphere of influence. About halfway through that millennium, Lahob-speaking tribes (the Ur-Chlouvānem) settled in the area, finishing their long migration journey across the whole continent and started settling together with the local people, with common intermixing. | The area around Lake Lūlunīkam, including the location of present-day Līlasuṃghāṇa, has been inhabited for millennia by tribes speaking languages such as Laiputaši or Old Kāṃradeši.

The center of this settlement was on a bigger hammock in the swamp, not far from the Talitanah river and about three kilometers upstream from the lakeside - today's Ṣrāvamaila ("clear water") sector, named after the founding Great Inquisitor's regnal name. The only access to the early city was from the Talitanah river, and a smaller settlement was built at its mouth, functioning as a gate for the city - this area has been later remodelled by land reclamation and it is now the Janaimarta ("port city") sector; many foundation-era buildings can however be seen in the ''talitanah ga maiti memāyi jarmān'' (Talitanah River Mouth Park), part of Saṃryojyam sector, and by the rest of the Saṃryojyam lakeshore. Haleikēlṭah, just opposite the Talitanah from Ṣrāvamaila, became in the following centuries an important merchant quarter. | ||
Other older settlements later integrated in the main area of the city are found everywhere in the eparchy; quite noticeable, ancient, and near the central area, are the former lakeside village of Kānuṣāṭham (part of Lūṣyambādhi sector, northeast of the Inquisitorial Palace) and the "village of Huneidauṣa", today only a small, pedestrian area in the center of the eponymous sector, southeast of the Inquisitorial Palace. Such villages were often founded after the city itself, as farming settlements in the swamp that was being drained in order to support further growth of the city. | Other older settlements later integrated in the main area of the city are found everywhere in the eparchy; quite noticeable, ancient, and near the central area, are the former lakeside village of Kānuṣāṭham (part of Lūṣyambādhi sector, northeast of the Inquisitorial Palace) and the "village of Huneidauṣa", today only a small, pedestrian area in the center of the eponymous sector, southeast of the Inquisitorial Palace.
