Mount Doom
In
J. R. R. Tolkien's
fictional universe of
Middle-earth,
Mount Doom, or
Orodruin, is a volcano in
Mordor where the
One Ring was forged in the
Crack of Doom, a fiery chasm within the mountain.
Frodo's quest to destroy the Ring at Mount Doom occupies the bulk of
The Lord of the Rings.
Orodruin is Sindarin for "Fire Mountain". The Sindarin equivalent of Mount Doom is Amon Amarth, meaning "Mountain of Fate".
