Without the Kolinahr, Vulcan would be nothing but espionage, intrigue, cloaking devices, and Reman slaves all over the place.

    I always thought it was weird af that the Vulcans never had cloaking tech but the Klingons did. They were warp capable far before humans and I guess I just kind of assumed before Klingons.

    The Klingons got cloaking devices from the Romulans when they used to be allies.

    Okay. That makes a bit more sense, but how would the race that came from Vulcan have it and not them?

    The Romulans invented it first, but the Federation - and by extension, the Vulcans - also have cloaking technology. They’re just banned from using it by the Federation-Romulan peace treaty. (ref: TNG S7E12 “The Pegasus”)
