I was under the impression that Spol and the other parts of the Western Reaches were still under the control of the Carmanians. ILH vol. 1 describes them as "masters of the Western Reaches of the Empire" and "They rule over the Pelandans who held this land before them, and are now little more than a caste of peasants and laborers" on page 40. Page 42 also lists Spol as place were Carmanian characters can come from.
