- "Howl's a genius. You won that argument on Blacktar Cyst. Just wish he wasn't mad as a glitterstim addict reading omens in his filth."
- ―Hazram Namir to Brand
Glitterstim was an illicit substance with addictive properties.[1] It was twice as potent as ryll.[2] Taggart was a smuggler who specialized in moving shipments of glitterstim spice.[3] When Brand asked her fellow Twilight Company member Hazram Namir if he was being too hard on their captain, "Howl," Namir replied that Howl was a genius, but also as mad as a glimmerstim addict.[1] The Pyke Syndicate was engaged in glitterstim distribution.[4]
Spice spiders produced webs of pure glitterstim.[2]
