Mount Doom, known as Orodruin in the Sindarin language, is a prominent volcano located in the fictional land of Middle-earth. It serves as the fiery forge where the One Ring was created by the Dark Lord Sauron and is the only place where it can be destroyed. In J.R.R. Tolkien's epic saga, particularly in The Lord of the Rings, Mount Doom plays a crucial role in the quest to defeat Sauron. The perilous journey to its summit is fraught with danger, symbolizing the struggle between good and evil as the fate of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.
