'''Bornwater''' is a mining town in [[Bavland]] on [[Roshar]]. [[Szeth]] lived in the town for a short time before he served [[Taravangian]].{{book ref|sa1|i|6}}
== Geography ==
Bornwater is located in Bavland, an autonomous region at the base of a mountain range that is technically within the borders of southwestern [[Jah Keved]].{{map ref|Roshar}} It is the largest town in its immediate area, although it could still be considered a "backwater"
== Landmarks ==
The town is well-protected from [[highstorm]]s by a large cliffside to the east that forms a natural [[lait]]. The local citylord owns a well-guarded three story mansion with cultivated gardens on the east side of town, although he does not reside there.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}}
As part of Jah Keved, Bornwater is a [[Vorin]] region. However, some of the residents are very lax in following traditional Vorin social decorum; a prominent gambling den exists in the town where alcohol and [[firemoss]] are common. Despite these improprieties, certain aspects of Vorin culture are embedded in the residents. They do not bet on games of chance that could be considered "predicting the future". Although women in the gambling den often leave their [[safehand]] exposed, this is still seen as a provocative and flirty act.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}}
Despite the town's location in a lait that is well-protected from highstorms, the architecture still follows cultural tendencies, with long flat roofs that slope gently to the east.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}}
