Geocache Description:

Please place cache container back exactly as found and as firmly as possible to help keep it in place!

This is one in a series of Lantern Corps Themed caches. It will involve some research on the heroes and villains that make up these Lantern Corps. 

 

 

Each Corps represents a color and an emotion that goes with it. Red = Rage, Orange = Avarice (Greed), Yellow = Fear, Green = Willpower, Blue = Hope, Indigo = Compassion, Violet = Love, Black = Death, White = Life. The Central Power Battery of each color houses the single color light for that Emotion. The Ring that each Corps Member wears draws it's power from the Central Power Battery or a smaller battery assigned to the Corps Member. This power allows varying abilities such as flight, construct projection (physical creations made out of light that can be anything the wielder imagines), and enhanced stamina. Each cache will focus on just one of these corps and will involve some math and research skills. The hide shouldn't be too hard either. Have fun and ask any questions you'd like!

Billions of years ago, Larfleeze belonged to a small guild of thieves which stole a number of artifacts from the planet Maltus, including a mysterious box supposedly worth an entire star system to the right buyer. In retaliation, the Guardians of the Universe sent their Manhunters to pursue them. Those that escaped discovered a map belonging to the Guardian Krona that told of treasure. The guild followed the map into the Vega System to the planet Okaara. There they discovered a temple, inside of which was a Power Battery containing the orange light of avarice. Feeling its power "speak" to them, the criminals fought amongst themselves for it. Eventually the Guardians and their Manhunters found them, however, because of its proximity to Larfleeze and the others, the Guardians could not get within reaching distance of the box. The Guardians and Manhunters who tried were incinerated by the Orange Light of Avarice. Fearing the power of the orange light, the Guardians offered the two surviving guild members (Larfleeze and Turpa) a deal: in exchange for the mysterious box, the Guardians would trade the orange light with two additional conditions. First, as long as the orange light remained within the Vega system, the Guardians would agree not to interfere with it. Then secondly, for the safety of others, only one of the two thieves would be allowed to keep the orange light for themselves. Larfleeze explained that the Guardians were desperate to get the box back because it contained the fear entity Parallax. Agreeing to these terms, the two guild members fought to the death for the right to own the orange light, and Larfleeze emerged victorious. (From Wikipedia)

Each Corps has an Oath it states from time to time, usually to recharge their ring. This is the Orange Lantern Oath:

 

"What's mine is mine and mine and mine.

And mine and mine and mine!

Not yours!"

 

In order to find this cache, you will need to do some math. Find what Space Sector each member of the Corps is from or assigned to protect (these may be the same number). Replace their name with the Space Sector Number and apply the following equations to the last three digits of the coordinates above:

North: - (Tammal Tayn - Blume) - Warp Wrap 

West:  last 3 = (Glomulous/3) + Cade + Gretti - 2800

Make sure to make note of the clue on the cache log in order to find the War of Light / Blackest Night Cache!
