Green Lantern Citadel

First Appearance Green Lantern Corps #201 (June 1986)

Clipped from glcorps.dcuwiki.net: Designed by Stewart and constructed by the Green Lanterns who now called Earth home, the Green Lantern Citadel was located 20 miles northwest of Manhattan Beach, in a lightly wooded area in the Encino Canyon, just outside of Los Angeles, California, off Mulholland Highway.

During the event known as the Millennium, Guardian Herupa Hando Hu and Zamaron Nadia Safir left their other-dimensional retreat to help propel a number of humans, known as the Chosen, to the next evolutionary step. The Green Lantern Corps Citadel was used extensively, first as a meeting place for Earth's superhuman community, then as a place to teach the Chosen and protect them from the Manhunters. Kilowog and Arisia offered the Citadel to the New Guardians as their headquarters.

Following the departure of the New Guardians, Kilowog lived alone in the Citadel, with periodic visits from Arisia. One day, after Arisia had left for the mall, Guy Gardner stopped by to see Kilowog. Their get-together leveled the Citadel as they smashed each other through the walls supporting the structure. All that was left was a pile of rubble. Surveying the wreckage, Gardner lent his power ring to Kilowog who rebuilt the Citadel. It was shortly thereafter that Guy invited Kilowog to join the Justice League as a handyman.

Arisia returned to the Citadel to find a note left by Kilowog. He explained why he had left and warned her to get out of the Citadel before the 24 hour charge on Guy's ring ran out. Arisia read the note just as the Citadel started to fall apart. -Green Lantern Corps Quarterly #1
