'''Glys''' is a [[sprenMistspren]] 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-anat]].{{book ref|sa3|116}}
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
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 sprenMistspren, 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’s corruption,{{book ref|sa3|116}} and he intentionally tends to stay invisible.{{wob ref|6849}}
 
As a [[Shardblade]], Glys is long and thin, with almost no crossguard. There are ‘waving folds to the metal, like it had been forged’.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
== Abilities and Attributes ==
=== Nahel bond ===
Even as a corrupt Truthwatcher sprenMistspren, Glys is able to grant Renarin access to the Surges of [[Progression]] and [[Illumination]]. It is unknown how many Ideals Renarin has spoken, but their bond has progressed to the point where he is able to summon Glys as a Shardblade.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
 
=== Other abilities ===
Glys also helps Renarin in discovering the [[Urithiru gem archive|gem archive]] hidden in the library room of Urithiru. Due to their bond Renarin is able to see visions showing him how to find the gemstones hidden in wall compartments, as well as how the compartments could be opened and the gemstones accessed. {{book ref|sa3|117}}
 
During the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], [[Jasnah]] tracks Renarin and Glys down to the Temple of [[Pailiah|Pailiah'Elin]]. This is the first time that Glys is visible to someone other than Renarin. Jasnah and her spren [[Ivory]] are able to verify that his appearance does not match that of a normal Truthwatcher sprenMistspren, concluding that he had been corrupted.{{book ref|sa3|115}} Renarin, undergoing a fit, is shown visions of what he believes to be the future. Glys fears for their safety, as both of them see a sequence of images showing Jasnah killing Renarin with her Shardblade. During the same fit they see Dalinar giving in to [[Odium]] and kneeling before him. Upon seeing this, Glys expresses his sorrow to Renarin.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Jasnah, however, does not kill Renarin, which brings him to the realisation that the visions he and Glys see can be wrong. {{book ref|sa3|118}}
 
Later in the battle Renarin helps the [[Thaylen]] [[Shardbearer]] [[Hrdalm]] fight a [[thunderclast]]. After Renarin and Hrdalm subdue it, Glys shows Renarin how to dispel it using Stormlight.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
