Editing Anla'Shok Na

The '''Anla'Shok Na''' (literally "'''Ranger One'''" in [[List of Minbari words and phrases|Minbari]]) was one of the titles held by [[Valen]] when he formed the [[Anla'Shok]]. It was later passed down to subsequent leaders after Valen traveled beyond.<ref name=tDitCoS>[[To Dream in the City of Sorrows]]</ref> In [[2259]], at the behest of [[Chosen One]] [[Jenimer]], the title was re-joined with that of [[Entil'Zha]], last held by Valen himself.

==History==
During the [[First Shadow War]], Valen founded the [[Anla'Shok]] as a way of uniting the Minbari military. He tasked them with being the guardians of life and the future. Unlike other militaries, the Anla'Shok would use a simple hierarchy starting from a single leader who answered only to the [[Grey Council]] and possessed the right to speak to them when he wished.<ref name="itBeg"/> This leader was simply named "Anla'Shok Na", meaning "Ranger One".

After Valen's death, the title of Anla'Shok Na passed on to the senior-most member of the Anla'Shok, the one whom all the Rangers would respect and listen to. Generally, the successor was chosen by the current title holder. At times, the choice of Ranger One was made under emergency conditions, such as when [[Sech]] [[Turval]] stepped in after the death of Anla'Shok Na [[Lenonn]] during the [[Earth-Minbari War]] in [[2246]]. Turval stepped aside after the arrival of [[Jeffrey Sinclair]] on [[Minbar]].
