Is Cultivation's Investiture distributed by the crem cycle?
RAFO.
Yesterday you said that crem was actually like Shard poop.
No, I was saying that it was more like that than what they were saying.
It's not really poop?
No, its not.
Dang it, I like poop jokes! Can you make it poop so i can have a poop joke.
Ok, for the next thirty seconds it is.
Where do gemhearts come from?
They grow naturally, just like your fingernails grow.
Where do they get the resources?
The rain that falls on Roshar is [hard] water, full of crem that crystalizes. If you drink that water, it gives you the nutrients that you need to make gemhearts.
Is the crem--is it natural--are the highstorms magically created and that's why--
Yeah the crem is there to keep the continent from washing away. So I had to add a magical element that, if it were not in the cosmere with magic, this would not work.
Is that why the Weepings don't have crem, is that's a natural storm?
That is because I didn't want there to be too much crem at that point. These are all story structure things, instead. World-wise, I would say a little more natural, sort of blow off steam, there.
Has stormwater tasted metallic always?
Yes.
Even pre-Shattering?
Even pre-Shattering it would get a metallic taste, that's the crem. So. That is an indication of Investiture and things. But it was there-- it was in place first, before.
Is crem spren poop? Or at least… not literally, but something like it?
Yes, it’s more like Shard poop. (Somewhat unsure sounding?)
Is crem made out of calcium carbonate?
No, that it was a darker material, and wouldn’t directly correlate to any rocks on Earth
Where does it come from?
That’s one of the greater mysteries. Far in the future, scientists on Roshar will start asking that same question.
