Sometimes when important lighteyes die, their corpses are soulcasted into stone statues, as opposed to [[darkeyes]] corpses, which are typically burned. It is unknown how common this practice is among lighteyes of lower dahn or among lighteyes outside of [[Alethkar]].{{cite}} |

It is a well-known legend within [[Vorin]] society that if a man wins a [[Shardblade]] on the battlefield, he will become a lighteyes, regardless of his previous station in life.{{book ref|sa1|16}} Even if his eye color didn't physically change, he would still be promoted to fourth dahn by virtue of being a Shardbearer.{{book ref|sa2|66}} The exact color of the Shardbearer's eyes depends on the specific type of Blade they bonded to.{{wob ref|3255}} This legend, though a foundation of Vorin society, went untested for centuries, until [[Adolin Kholin]] won a full set of [[Shardbearer|Shards]] and gifted them to the former bridgeman [[Kaladin Stormblessed]]. Kaladin, remembering the event in which his friends were killed, stepped aside and commanded his lieutenant, [[Moash]], to take the Shards. Upon receiving the Shards, Moash's eyes did indeed lighten, from a dark brown to a tan color.{{book ref|sa2|68}} This effect lasts only as long as the formerly darkeyed Shardbearer keeps ownership of his Shardblade, as Moash's eyes changed again upon losing his. |

A second method of becoming a lighteyes is to become either a [[Surgebinder]] or [[Knight Radiant]]. According to [[Skar]], [[Kaladin]]'s eyes changed while fighting to save [[Dalinar]] during the [[Battle of the Tower]], although it was only for a short moment, as other men still recognize him as a darkeyes during the fight.{{book ref|sa2|2}} During this battle, Kaladin only said up to the Second Ideal of the [[Immortal Words]] and did not recognize himself as a Knight Radiant. Later, during the [[Battle of Narak]], after Kaladin says the Third Ideal of the Immortal Words and recognizes himself as a true Knight Radiant, his eyes turn pale blue, lighter than any king.{{book ref|sa2|87}} They stay pale blue for several hours after summoning [[Syl]] before returning to brown, and Kaladin has to summon Syl several times a day to keep his eye blue.{{book ref|sa3|73 |

Lighteyes can temporarily be darkened using eyedrops. There is not currently a way to artificially lighten dark eye colors.{{book ref|sa2|28}} |

Within the dahn system itself, there are ten different levels ranging from one to ten, with one being the highest and ten being the lowest. The highest levels of dahn implies immense power and authority while those at the lowest level of dahn are merely ordinary people. |

The first dahn consists of the king. The second dahn contains the highprinces. The third dahn is made up, at least in part, of the non-heir children of the king, the non-heir children of highprinces, and highlords{{wob ref|2782}}{{book ref|sa2|52}}. The fourth dahn includes lighteyes who hold the position of battalionlord in the army; battalionlords command a full battalion of a thousand men.{{book ref|sa1|73}} The seventh dahn includes lower ranking officers in the army who are landless and attached to a more powerful officer's retinue.{{book ref|sa1|27}} |
