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. [1] Crem is light brown.[2] It is like a sediment.[3]
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.[4]
Crem is used in pottery making.[4] The people of Sesemalex Dar are renown for their expert crem pottery.[5]
It is used when deworming fields to close the holes after removing worms,[4] so that no new worms could infest the field again.
Throughout Rosharian history farmhouses are built of crembricks.[6] Shallan Davar considers if the buildings of Kharbranth were made of crem.[7] When the Parshendi are discovered by King Gavilar and his brother Dalinar it is observed that they made simple buildings of crem and stone.[8]
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.[9]
Crem is used as a derogatory term, i.e. "The crem of an army." or "one cremstained mark."[10]
