Ghlen Livid is a spirit made from the freeze distilled Vul Nut, a reannual plant. Reannuals travel back in time, so Ghlen Livid can give its drinkers a vision of the future, which is, from the nut's point of view, the past. (This temporal anomaly is why Pteppic did his Final Run under the added handicap of a hangunder.) It has a distinctive green colour and is brewed in the Rehugreed province of the Agatean Empire. It is first described in The Colour of Magic.
