Is the crem--is it natural--are the highstorms magically created and that's why--
Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]
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?
Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]
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.

Is crem made out of calcium carbonate?
Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)
No, that it was a darker material, and wouldn’t directly correlate to any rocks on Earth

Where does it come from?
Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)
That’s one of the greater mysteries. Far in the future, scientists on Roshar will start asking that same question.

Yes.
Questioner [PENDING REVIEW]
Even pre-Shattering?
Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]
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.
