The New Power Ring in Green Lantern Mythology Has Instant Transportation Powers
Eons ago, ancient Maltusians desecrated a monument dedicated to the Old God Olgrun and his daughter Ajna. The Maltusians stripped the site and forged powerful weapons to form a team to protect the universe. Olgrun’s ancient spirit punished the Maltusians by converting their bodies into corrupted light, making them the first members of his undead army, the Radiant Dead. Before the team’s captain fell,she sought out the vessel of Olgrun’s willpower, Queen Ajna’s ring. However, instead of saving her, it turned the captain into the first host of the monster known as the Revenant Queen.
John Stewart has learned a lot about the Revenant Dead recently. He’s learned that the Dark Star of the Fenn, the mystical realm where Olgrun is hiding, is connected to Queen Ajna’s ring. Now Green Lantern is discovering this ring has a secondary power, the ability to transport Ajna directly to Olgrun. John was vehemently warned against entering the Dark Star, yet he proceeded knowing it could be the only way to stop Olgrun. Now that John knows about the secret of Ajna’s ring,the Green Lantern might have a way of taking his fight directly to the Old God.

John is one of the few people who has a chance at stopping Olgrun, but he has no way of finding him in the madness of the Dark Star.
