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.

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 of 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 stalagmite-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."
