'''Bornwater''' was the largest mining town in [[Bavland]] on [[Roshar]].{{ref|b|sa1|i|6}}
Because of it's location in [[Jah Keved]], Bornwater is a town of [[Vorin]] descent though much more lax in it's social decorum, with women often leaving their Safehand exposed as a provacative and flirty means.
Bornwater, while under the purview of it's local landlord who resides in Kneespike [Interlude-6], is most likely largely ignored by [[Jah Keved]] similar to most places in [[Bavland]].
Protection from [[Highstorms]] 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 sloped gently to the east. Remarked upon by [[Szeth]] as being unnecessary in a lait.
The most curious thing about Bornwater is that it is the first and only location so far in [[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.
