Grit

Grit is the historic name for a peninsula on the far north eastern portion of Nordures which once held a chiefdom of the same name.
== Description ==
Grit has not been visited since the 3rd or 1st century AE when the last of the Nordurens fled to Fayos following an extensive cooling period. According to the Chronicles, the area was mostly barren, save for thin patches of wiry yellow grass and the occasional purple flower peaking through endless fields of rocks and dust. Near the sea on the peninsula was a small fortress town from which the king of the Grits ruled. One such kind, called Ulvri, appears in the Chronicle of Halmrich. It is unclear if the Grits were a distinct ethnic group or a tribal division. Little is known about the people or their culture, other than that they are said to have burnt large fires for warmth, ate seals and clothes themselves in their fur, and journeyed out to fish in skin canoes. 
Due to massive global climate shifts, the far reaches of Nordures are difficult if not impossible to reach. Thus, no one has been to what was once Grit in millennia. However, the peninsula continue to be labeled as Grit on maps made based on those found in the Chronicles.
