At the first and most prestigious nahn, one is even worthy of marrying into a lighteyed family.{{ref|b|sa1|c|12}} At the second nahn, one could also potentially marry into a lighteyed family.{{ref|b|sa1|c|25}} These two nahns are confirmed to be full citizens with the right of travel.{{ref|b|sa1|c|10}} Wealthy darkeyes of the first or second nahn were addressed by the title "citizen."{{ref|b|sa2|c|43}}
While those at the lowest level of nahn without the right of travel are essentially serfs tied to the land they are currently on, this is relatively rare. Many more people at the slightly higher levels of nahn that includes the right of travel.{{qa ref
== Protections and privileges ==
There are some protections built into the system of nahn to prevent abuse by lighteyes.
The first is the the right of travel, which is assumed to be included with most nahns. To not possess that right would imply that some issue that occurred with one's ancestors or having done something to have that right revoked.{{qa ref
The second known protection is exemption from military conscription for those who are of sufficient nahn and provide an essential function to a town.{{ref|b|sa1|c|44}} It is known that a second nahn surgeon and his only apprentice, also of second nahn, are exempt from military conscription.{{ref|b|sa1|c|44}}
== Moving between ranks ==
Moving between ranks is a fairly fluid and common occurrence, except for the very highest ranks, which are harder to attain.{{qa ref
Joining the army is one way to permanently increase the nahn of a person and their children; for example, if a very low-ranked darkeye joins the army, he would most likely receive an immediate one nahn increase.{{qa ref
There is also an extremely rare method to change ranks out of the nahn system and into the dahn system. By becoming a [[Shardbearer]], regardless of method and whether one is darkeyed or not, one immediately raises his rank to the fourth dahn.{{ref|b|sa2|c|66}} This was accomplished for the first time in generations when [[Kaladin Stormblessed]] was granted a full set of Shards and, instead of claiming them for himself, gifted them to his subordinate [[Moash]].
== Inheritance of nahn ==
The nahn of a darkeyed child is influenced by the nahn that his parents hold. Generally, the child's nahn will be equivalent to the highest nahn that either of his parents hold.{{qa ref
However, for those of very high nahn, the children might slip down in rank until they hit a stable rank.
