I guess the question is... is there a distinction between a blue-eyed person and a Brightlord? To put in terms of a corporate world, a dark-eyed person would be the "blue-collar" worker. Is a blue-eyed person automatically "white-collar", whereas a Brightlord would be considered "management"? Or is light-eyes equivalent to Brightlord no matter what?

Thanks for your help. Follow up question: are you immediately a noble if you have blue eyes? Or is there a difference between a blue-eyed person and a Brightness/Brightlord?

Note: I'm not sure whether the spoiler period is over or whatever, but I'm gonna go ahead and say there are some spoilers below. If you haven't read or finished Way of Kings, please stop now and come back when you finish. Thanks. Got some random questions here that maybe you guys can answer. 1) The nobility in Alethkar is known as "Brightness" or "Brightlord". Is "Brightness" the feminine version of "Brightlord"? I can't recall if any men are referred to as "Brightness". Can anyone clarify? 2) Anyone know how the epochs are set up? For instance, in our culture we have B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini), and some refer to C.E. (Common Era) and B.C.E (Before Common Era). Peter suggested that there are multiple epochs like that in the Stormlight Archives. My question is specifically in regards to the Prelude, as it says that Kelek and Jezrian's conversation is "3000 years ago". The current year is 1174. Keeping in mind the BC-AD/CE-BCE notations, what would the current year be and what would the date be in the Prelude? 3) Jasnah and Shallan can apparently Soulcast without fabrials. Are there different terms for people who require fabrials and those who don't? 4) Several of the characters swear by various gods. Many of these gods are obviously bastardizations of the original Heralds' names. With that in mind, would you consider these beings to be gods or are they simply Heralds? 5) Is there a name for what Dalinar has become (with regards to his visions)? (e.g. Prophet? Seer?) Thanks in advance for your help, guys.
