== Appearance and Properties ==
Crem is a light brown, sediment-like substance. It falls along with the heavy rains during [[highstorm]]s, while the lighter rainfall during the [[Weeping]]s does not carry it.{{book ref|sa2|81}} It gives stormwater a metallic taste.{{wob ref|8491}} Consuming it can cause sickness, making highstorm water unsafe for humans to drink{{wob ref|11570}}; however, after about a day, it will settle on the bottom of the container, leaving clean water above.{{book ref|sa1|16}} When dried, it can turn into dust.{{book ref|sa3|71}}{{book ref|sa3|82}} Water mixed with crem is known as '''cremwater'''{{book ref|sa2|47}}. '''Cremslime''' - a thicker mud formed of water mixed with crem - has an unpleasant stench.{{book ref|sa1|60}} Densely-packed, accumulated crem forms '''cremstone''', which is tannish brown in color.{{wob ref|6268}}
 
Highstorms cause crem buildup on all structures, whether unnatural or natural, such as buildings, plateaus, and even corpses.{{book ref|sa1|69}}{{book ref|sa2|51}} Unless cleaned regularly, everything on Roshar eventually becomes covered with crem, and any overhangs will grow crem stalactites.{{book ref|sa1|25}}{{book ref|sa1|69}} In fact, the entire continent is slowly "migrating" leeward, thanks to the highstorms depositing crem as they travel.{{wob ref|5712}}
