The Mekro'vak region was a provincial area on the Klingon homeworld of Qo'noS. It was located near the equator, north of the Hamar Mountains and southwest of Kang's Summit. It was home to the House of Grilka and many of their lands were held there. (DIS: "The War Without, The War Within"; DS9: "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places")

Among the people of the Mekro'vak, it was customary for a male to bring a fresh leg of lingta to the first courtship dinner with the lady he pursued. He would then make room for it by removing everything else from the table with one sweep of the lingta and announce loudly, "'I have brought you this. From this day, I wish to provide food for you and your House. All I ask is to share your company and do honor to your name."

In 2373, Worf shared this custom with Quark, who was attempting to court Grilka. (DS9: "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places")
