(Azir doesn't have darkeyes/lighteyes divide)
There are some protections built into the system of nahn to prevent abuse by lighteyes.
 
The first is the right of travel, which is assumed to be included with most nahns. To not possess that right would imply that one or one's ancestors had committed some wrongdoing.{{wob ref|2782}} The right of travel allows a darkeyed person to leave a town being ruled poorly by the citylord.{{wob ref|2782}} If the town experiences a substantial loss of persons, the citylord may be stripped of his position and be demoted in dahn.{{wob ref|2782}} This protection was suggested by the [[Herald]] [[Nale]] when he was aiding scribes in writing the law as pertaining to eye color.{{book ref|sa4|47}}
 
The second known protection is exemption from military conscription for those who are of sufficient nahn and provide an essential function to a town.{{book ref|sa1|44}} It is known that a second nahn surgeon and his only apprentice, also of second nahn, are exempt from military conscription.{{book ref|sa1|44}}
 
A third known privilege is the right of Commission. In [[Highprince]] country, a darkeyes of high enough Nahnnahn could get a commission to work an unused hill or section of land and then keep a portion of the crop for themselves or their family.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
