    Are the lighteyes descendants of the first people who took the Shards after the Knights Radiant abandoned them?

    I'm afraid I have to RAFO this too.

    Interview: Feb 20th, 2015

    Question

    My question has to do with the color of Shallan’s eyes currently, because we’ve noticed over the books that Kaladin’s eyes, as he’s continued to use his Surge, changed to lighter and lighter blue. Whereas one could argue that Shallan is farther in her Ideals than Kaladin is, yet her eyes have not changed at all.

    Brandon Sanderson

    Right, ‘cause they were already light.

    Question

    ‘Cause they were already light? So it only affects lightness or darkness in the eyes, not necessarily any other color?

    Brandon Sanderson

    It’s not like it is-- It’s not like it’s saying “Light minus 50%”.

    Question

    It’s not like Honor is blue and--

    Brandon Sanderson

    No. It is not. It is just kind of the way that the changes the Stormlight is making the body and certain people are already descended from people who had repeated, over time, changes by the body which stopped physically… That’s not to say that all lighteyes that’s where they came from. There are some that are natural mutations.

    Interview: Oct 9th, 2015

    Question

    How did you come up with the Lighteyes/Darkeyes thing?

    Brandon Sanderson

    I wanted to have some kind of racism in the books that was removed from the racism we have in our world, so I could talk about it in a more isolated way related to the books. So making it related to eye colour made sense because the Voidbringers have these glowing red eyes, the Heralds have these bright eyes. So the idea that of eye colour being related to your level of nobility – which is not true! – entered the culture and became the form of racism and prejudice that they use.
