It's unknown but I think it's established when Jhor was colonized 729-750 ST.

Nick Brooke's website suggests the city of Brinnus which is on the lake.

>It seems that Spor and Zhor exist as separate areas at this looking at
>GtSA. Did Spol and Zhor exist before Syranthir arrived or were they
>just part of Pelanda?
Zhor is actually named after the Loskalmi province of Jhor. I don't know when Spol acquired the name.
>What differentiates Zhor from Spol?
Jhor - Good people live here.
Spol - wicked evil worshippers of GanEstoro live here.
Furthermore Jhor is highlands while Spol is lowlands.
>And lastly,
>do any fantasy creatures such as Griffins inhabit the Oronin valley or

Harpies, Owl Lions (Carmanian Griffins), Skybulls, Bronze Bulls and Bronze Goats, Horned Wolves, Gargoyles, Giant Worms, Giants, Basilisks, Krashkids and Ogres.
>Arir and Vangtal lie between the Oronin valley and the Barbarian belt.

Sounds about right.
