'''Bornwater''' was the largest mining town in [[Bavland]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa1|i|6}}
 
Because of it'sits location in [[Jah Keved]], Bornwater is a town of [[Vorin]] descent, though it is much more lax in its social decorum, with women often leaving their safehand exposed as a provacativeprovocative and flirty meansact.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}}
 
Bornwater, while under the purview of its local landlord who resides in [[Kneespike]], is most likely largely ignored by [[Jah Keved]] similar to most places in [[Bavland]].
 
Protection from [[Highstormhighstorm]]s is provided for the town in that the whole of it was built in a lait, the large cliffside to the east. However, it seems that the architecture still follows the cultural tendencies, with long flat roofs that slopedslope gently to the east., Remarked upon by [[Szeth]]even asthough being unnecessary in a lait renders this unnecessary.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}}
 
== Trivia ==
The most curious thing about Bornwater is that it is the first and only location so far in [[The Way of Kings]] that uses both soil and stone as building material. Soil is extremely rare outside of [[Shinovar]], so most of Roshar relies solely on stone.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}}
