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