'''Crem''' was part of the rain water on [[Roshar]]. When crem was ingested it could make people sick, so one always waited one day until the crem was settled down and then took the fresh water from the top.
The crem was used to make pottery{{ref|b|sa1|c|16}}. The people of [[Sesemalex Dar]] were famous for their expert crem pottery.{{ref|b|sa1|c|55}}
But it has other uses as well. it is used when worming a filed to close the holes after removing the worm{{ref|b|twok|c|16}}, so that the new worms can't infest the field again.▼

Crem was used for buildings, too. Even in earlier history of Roshar, farmhouses were built of crembricks.{{ref|b|sa1|c|19}} [[Shallan Davar]] considers if the buildings of [[Kharbranth]] were made of crem.{{ref|b|sa1|c|3}} When the [[Parshendi]] were diescovered by [[Gavilar Kholin|King Gavilar]] and his brother [[Dalinar Kholin|Dalinar]] it was observed that they made simple buildings of crem and stone. {{ref|b|twok|c|45}}
Among the problems with crem are, that if there is still crem in the drinkingwater one will get sick. Also caverns are often sealed up by crem. the bigges probelm however is that icicle-like pendants of rock form on the edges of roofs. [[Highstorms]] dropped stormwater, and stormwater carried crem. If left alone, crem eventually hardened into stone. Buildings grew stalactites, formed by stormwater slowly dripping from the eaves. People had to clean them off regularly, or risk weighing down the roof so much that it collapsed{{ref|b|twok|c|25}}.▼

Crem has been used as a derogatory term by several characters, likely referring to the notion that crem is stormleavings. Exempels are: "The crem of an army" or "one cremstaind mark".{{ref|b|twok|c|14}}▼
