+Slowswift Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 So, the whole light/darkeyes thing is fascinating to me. I've always wondered what drew the line. Do your eyes have to be extremely light, or just a bright color? How dark do your eyes have to be to be considered darkeyed? And how do the genetics work? Is it the same as here on earth, or different? I've noticed that people have light yellow or violet eyes on Roshar. ...anyways, what about you? Are you darkeyed or lighteyed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamEternal Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) In Roshar eyes only seem to come in "almost black" and "gemstone light" varieties, so I guess people with intermediary colors just plain don't fit in the vorin social system, and if a number of them appeared the ardents would start a assembly to decide their position.

emilylime Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Well, I have blue eyes, but they're not as light as I imagine lighteyes being... But definitely not darkeyed. So I just voted lighteyed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOUTAGOD Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Darkeyes!!! Im very proud of this fact! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Lighteyed right now, but that could change tomorrow. As for how Lighteyed vs Darkeyed works? My feeling is that all Rosharan's are DNA-Darkeyed, and the Lighteyed trait is an sDNA alteration caused by Spren that is Hereditary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowspren Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) I am colourblind so I pretty much base the colour of my eyes on what people tell me, which is that I have pale blue/green/grey eyes... which from what I can see think that I would be a lighteyes When I asked my Darkeyed friend what he thought about WoK the conversation went a little like this "There's only one reason I wouldn't want to live on Roshar" "What's that?" "It's a reason that you wouldn't mind so much... because you are a lighteyes" Edited June 3, 2015 by Zaci-chan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 My eyes are light blue with a very nice ring of green close to the center, so I would definitely be a lighteyes. They may not be super bright, but they're still the right colors and somewhat bright, especially with the right tie on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljósmóður Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm light-eyed but more Vedan than Alethi (blue eyes, pale skin, lots of freckles and red-brown hair) Some Horneater blood in there too which might explain why I like stew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Anamaximder Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Venture Mistborn opened his eyes. Swirls of color, red, green, opal, blue. Twists of brown, curls of amber. He blinked. And the world shook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistrunner Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Wellll... In WoR, it's said that light brown (tan) eyes are considered light, but what about very dark blue eyes? That's what mine are. Very dark blue, though some people say they're green in certain lighting. So, no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Honor Spren Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I selected Lighteyes, although I'm pretty borderline. My eyes are a sort of hazelly-green colour. Ugh, me too. I guess you could say I'm a half breed. My dad is light bluey-gray; my mom is a dark hazel. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamEternal Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Except, as I said before, Roshar doens't have any eye color that isn't almost black or gemstone light, so you would be a worldhopper without an disguise. My eyes are hazel, with more green than brown, so I would need eyedrops to go unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
