'''Glys''' is a [[spren]] on [[Roshar]]. He appears as a red crystalline structure, and formed a [[Nahel bond]] with [[Renarin Kholin]]. This grants Renarin the ability to use the [[Surge]]s associated with the [[Order of Truthwatchers]]. Prior to forming the bond,{{book ref|sa3|117}} Glys was corrupted by the [[Unmade]] [[Sja-Anatanat]].{{book ref|sa3|116}}

Glys takes the form of a bright red crystalline structure, resembling a snowflake, which shimmers and drips light upwards.{{book ref|sa3|115}} This is not the form of normal Truthwatcher spren, who appear as light reflected through crystal on a surface.{{book ref|sa3|53}}{{book ref|sa3|104}}{{book ref|edgedancer|20}} His altered appearance is the result of Sja-Anat’sanat’s corruption,{{book ref|sa3|116}} and he intentionally tends to stay invisible.{{wob ref|6849}}

Glys was corrupted by Sja-Anatanat before bonding Renarin, though he does not remember this event very well.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Sja-Anatanat has referred to this process as '''Enlightening'''.{{book ref|sa3|97}}

Due to Sja-Anat’sanat’s influence, the bond with Glys also gives Renarin the ability to see visions of the future (which is typically of Odium). These visions are often but not always accurate, and appear as sequences of stained glass panels on the walls or floors, sometimes with numbers or words beneath them. Neither Glys nor Renarin are able to control when these visions strike.{{book ref|sa3|117}}{{book ref|sa3|120}}
