Mano segura es un término Roshariano para referirse a la mano izquierda de una mujer. Según la tradición cultural vorin, es impropio de una mujer dejar su mano izquierda al descubierto. La mano derecha de una mujer es referida habitualmente como mano libre.

Trasfondo y cumplimiento

La visión moderna sobre la mano segura deriva del antiguo libro Artes y Majestuosidad, which claimed that "true" feminine pursuits and arts were the ones that could be performed with one hand, while "manly" arts were the ones performed with two hands, thus tying delicacy with women and brute force with men.

La tradición de cubrir la mano segura es común de las mujeres de las naciones Vorin de Alezkar, Jah Keved, Kharbranth, Nueva Natanan, y Thaylenah. Las niñas comienzan a cubrirse su mano izquierda sobre los doce años, siendo esto considerado un rito de pasaje. La mano se mantiene oculta siempre que sea posible, incluso llevando un albornoz en frente del personal de asistencia en el baño antes de entrar en él. Solo la familia es tocada con la mano segura cubierta, pues es considerado un gesto de gran intimidad. Enseñar intencionadamente la mano segura se considera un gesto muy privado, quedando reservado normalmente para la pareja de una mujer.

Covering the left hand is not thought of as a major inconvenience among Alethi and Veden nobility, since lighteyed women are able to pursue one-handed hobbies such as painting and writing. Among the upper class, the most common method of covering the safehand is by wearing a havah, a traditional dress that includes an oversized sleeve that loosely covers the left hand. The fabric used to make havahs is thin enough that the safehand can still be used to grip things. The sleeve often has a compartment or button where a "safepouch" that holds personal objects can be placed. The pouch may hold objects as large as a notebook, and can usually be transferred between different garments. It is considered extremely rude to open another woman's safepouch. The sleeve typically has a button that can be opened if a woman is in a situation where she can reveal her safehand. Havahs are particularly popular in Alethkar and Jah Keved, and new styles are often introduced in Roshar's fashion capitals of Liafor and Yezier. People from non-Vorin nations who associate with Alethi nobility (such as Evi and Palona) are expected to cover their safehands, although they may be relatively careless about keeping it totally hidden.

Darkeyed women often choose to wear a glove instead of a sleeve; they are not concerned about putting on airs and are more likely to need both hands to perform their jobs or household duties. Thaylen women, who are less devout than the Alethi and come from a society of sailors, also typically wear gloves. Gloves are considered less modest than sleeves.

Prostitutes may wear fingerless gloves or leave their safehands completely uncovered in order to be provocative and show others who they are before being hired out.

Historia

Although Arts and Majesty was written prior to the Recreance, it came to prominence after that event when it was adopted as a misogynistic justification for men to bear Shardblades and Shardplate instead of women. This had far-reaching effects in Vorin society, including women appropriating the duties of reading and writing as a form of retaliation. This change occurred relatively rapidly, over the course of a few decades, and persisted for several millenia.

Singers that served Vorin masters in slaveform prior to the Everstorm sometimes retained the tradition of covering their safehands after they were freed.

During the True Desolation, the importance of safehands seemed to decline among some high-ranking Vorin women. Jasnah Kholin followed the tradition because it was seen as proper, although she did not actually care about it herself. Navani began wearing a glove more often and felt that wearing a sleeve was burdensome.

Curiosidades

• Según Ben McSweeney, en un principio no estaba previsto que las manos seguras se convirtieran en un tabú sexual y de desnudez. Sin embargo, tras el lanzamiento de El camino de los reyes, los propios fans establecieron la conexión y Brandon la incorporó al mundo como resultado.
