The Coppermind has spoilers for all of Brandon's published works, now including The Sunlit Man. Information about books that have not yet been released, like Stormlight 5, is allowed only on meta-pages for the books themselves. For more details, see our spoiler policy. To view an earlier version of the wiki without spoilers for a book, go to the Time Machine!

Darkeyes are a class of people from Alethkar in The Way Of Kings that are characterized by their dark eyes. In Alethkar, they are limited in maximum attainable status due to their being the socially inferior race, although they seem to make up the majority of the population of the nation. Due to the fact that Darkeyes are never nobility in Alethkar, it has also become virtually synonymous with peasentry. It is known that most other nations in the book do not seperate their population by eye color as Sigizil points out numerous other systems of governance. Therefore, it stands to reason that it is not a universally recognized racial classification system.
