The anlok was a small polished stone with a rune, used by the Children of San-Tarah to bind verbal agreements. On stardate 53400, Me-Larr of the Ruling Pack made a agreement with Captain Klag of the Klingon Imperial Defense Force warship IKS Gorkon: to avoid needless bloodshed, it was agreed that the fate of San-Tarah would be decided on three contests: a hunting challenge, a sailing, and combat.
