The first dahn consists of the king. The second dahn contains the highprinces. The third dahn is made up, at least in part, by the non-heir children of the king, the non-heir children of highprinces, and highlords{{qa ref|1068|13|Tor.com The Way of Kings Re-read Interview with Brandon Sanderson|date=Jun 10th, 2014}}{{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}}
=== Moving between ranks ===
It is difficult for a lighteyed person to raise their dahn, especially at the higher dahns.{{qa ref|1068|13|Tor.com The Way of Kings Re-read Interview with Brandon Sanderson|date=Jun 10th, 2014}} At the lower dahns, one

A person can also be demoted in dahn if they perform poorly in a given role.{{qa ref|1068|13|Tor.com The Way of Kings Re-read Interview with Brandon Sanderson|date=Jun 10th, 2014}} In particular, if an [[ardent]] leaves the ardentia, he will be demoted to the tenth dahn.{{book ref|sa1|45}}
=== Inheritance of dahn ===
The dahn of a lighteyed child is influenced by the dahn that his parents hold. Generally, the child's dahn will be equivalent to the highest dahn that either of his parents hold.{{qa ref|1068|13|Tor.com The Way of Kings Re-read Interview with Brandon Sanderson|date=Jun 10th, 2014}} For example, a child from a union of a fifth dahn husband and sixth dahn wife would be fifth dahn.
However, special rules apply to those of very high dahn or who hold certain special positions. In such a circumstance, the heir apparent will receive the highest parent's dahn and eventually succeed the parent's position while the non-heir children will slip one or two ranks down until they reach a "stable rank."{{qa ref|1068|13|Tor.com The Way of Kings Re-read Interview with Brandon Sanderson|date=Jun 10th, 2014}} A stable rank is one in which the child will always inherit the rank of their parent; the third dahn is a stable rank, while the first and second are not.{{qa ref|1068|13|Tor.com The Way of Kings Re-read Interview with Brandon Sanderson|date=Jun 10th, 2014}}
