A lighteyes is a person with lightly colored, bright eyes, such as blue, green, yellow, light grey, or violet.[1][2] In the Vorin kingdoms of Alethkar, Jah Keved, and Kharbranth, they form the nobility, ruling over the darkeyes. A male lighteyes of notable rank is addressed by the title Brightlord. Similarly, Brightlady is used to address high-ranking females,[3] although the more common term of address is Brightness. Brightness can be used to address a lighteyed lady of any rank.

Becoming a lighteyes
Permanently changing one's birth eye color is generally not possible. However, 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.[5] This legend, though a foundation of Vorin society, went untested for centuries, until Kaladin Stormblessed won a full set of Shards and gifted them to his lieutenant, Moash. Upon receiving the Shards, Moash's eyes did indeed lighten, from a dark brown to a tan color.[6]
Kaladin's eyes change during his fight to save Dalinar, although they changed back afterwards.[7]
Hoid thinks that he should be amused by the import put in the color of the eyes, however he reflects that there is a good reason for this.[8]
It is speculated that the reason why lighteyes are revered and thought to be destined to rule is because of the Knights Radiant. Since the Knights Radiant were all using Surgebinding and Shards, they all had light eyes even if they didn't have them at birth. This in turn created the idea that lighteyes were superior to the darkeyes.
