Crem

Crem is part of the heavy rains that come with a highstorm on Roshar. However, the lighter rainfall during the Weeping does not drop crem. Crem is light brown. It is like a sediment.

When crem is ingested it can cause sickness; however, waiting a day before consumption will allow the crem to settle to the bottom and clean water can be safely drank from the top.

Crem is used in pottery making. The people of Sesemalex Dar are renown for their expert crem pottery.

It is used when deworming fields to close the holes after removing worms, so that no new worms could infest the field again.

Throughout Rosharian history farmhouses are built of crembricks. Shallan Davar considers if the buildings of Kharbranth were made of crem. When the Parshendi are discovered by King Gavilar and his brother Dalinar it is observed that they made simple buildings of crem and stone.

A problem of crem is that the rainwater deposits stalactite-like pendants of rock on the edges of roofs. Maintenance is required to clean them off regularly for avoiding roofs collapse.

Crem is used as a derogatory term, i.e. "The crem of an army." or "one cremstained mark."

Shallan thinks the buildings in Kharbranth may be plastered with crem.

Gaz uses cremstained as an insult. Cremling is a very common expletive. Cremslime is smelly. Adolin calls Sadeas a crem-crusted eel.

Crem has to be filtered out of stormwater before being drunk as it causes sickenss, and the filtered crem can be used to make pottery. Storm cisterns have been designed to filter out the crem automatically.

Dalinar considered the crem bricks in the Starfalls vision to be a sign of archaic construction.

The Tower was both larger and rougher than most other plateaus being formed of harderned crem.

Crem forms stalagtites on buildings.

One of the books Shallan read postulated that jella trees absorb crem to strenghten the wood. shalebark also feeds of crem. Farmers fertilise their lavis crops with crem.

When Adolin parlays with Eshonai they meet on a plateau with the remains of a chasmfiend slowly being encrusted by crem.

When Shallan and Kaladin are wandering the caverns they inspect the strata that forms and Shallan mentions that strata dating isn't practical due to the uneven pooling of crem as the wind is too string.

The rains during the Weeping don't drop crem.

Rysn considered the shin's soil even worse than crem.

lavis polyp grwos from "seed-crem".

Even Urithiru has some crem encrustations^{[citation needed]} but the city has many wells which source crem-free water from potentially hidden aquifiers.

Dried crem can form dust.

Adolin was once told a story that babies are crafted from crem clay.
