=== General Dahn Information ===
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, by the non-heir children of the king, the non-heir children of highprinces, and highlords{{wob ref|
People in the tenth and lowest level of dahn are colloquially known as "tenners" and are looked down upon as being barely above darkeyes.{{book ref|sa1|45}}{{book ref|sa2|2}}{{book ref|sa2|45}} Unlike high dahn lighteyes—who might make a living from their landed estates or by ruling over other men—or even high nahn darkeyes—who might be merchants or master craftsmen—tenners have to actually work for a living.{{book ref|sa2|45}}
=== Moving between ranks ===
It is difficult for a lighteyed person to raise their dahn, especially at the higher dahns.{{wob ref|
One can raise his dahn through two other, much more rare, methods. The first is through direct intervention by the king or a highprince.{{wob ref|
A person can also be demoted in dahn if they perform poorly in a given role.{{wob ref|
=== 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.{{wob ref|
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."{{wob ref|
