'''Līlasuṃghāṇa''' ("[place of] singing ''nāmñė'' cubs"; [[Chlouvānem]] pronunciation: [ˌɴ̆ʲiːɴ̆asũˈgʱaːɳa]; vernacular Līlasuṃghāṇi: ''Læilasihåṇ'' [ˈɴ̆ɛi̯ɴ̆ɐʂ(ɯ)ˌɣɔ̃]; popularly shortened to ''Līlah'' [ˈɴ̆ʲiːɴ̆aɦ]) is the capital of the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Chlouvānem Inquisition]], the holy city of the ''Yunyalīlta'', a ''quaestorship'' (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''' ("[place of] singing ''nāmñė'' cubs"; [[Chlouvānem]] pronunciation: [ˌɴ̆ʲiːɴ̆asũˈgʱaːɳa]; vernacular Līlasuṃghāṇi: ''Læilasihåṇ'' [ˈɴ̆ɛi̯ɴ̆ɐʂ(ɯ)ˌɣɔ̃]; popularly shortened to ''Līlah'' [ˈɴ̆ʲiːɴ̆aɦ]) is the capital of the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Chlouvānem Inquisition]], the holy city of the ''[[Verse:Yunyalīlta|Yunyalīlta]]'', a ''quaestorship'' (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 Lūlunīkam Lake (an inlet of the Flæmvasta sea) in the Jade Coast, with most of the quaestorship'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 districts of Līlasuṃghāṇa lie were formerly a swampland where the Ėmīlumi river ("river of tigers"), the Hanaiyami river ("cocoa river"), and the Rajālyāti river ("silver-black river") - all three blackwater - reach Lūlunīkam lake. 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 Lūlunīkam Lake (an inlet of the Flæmvasta sea) in the Jade Coast, with most of the quaestorship'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.
