Orodruin, also known as Mount Doom, is a fictional volcano located in the land of Mordor in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. It is infamous for being the place where the One Ring was forged and ultimately destroyed, playing a crucial role in the narrative of The Lord of the Rings. The mountain is characterized by its fiery eruptions and dark, ominous presence, symbolizing the power of evil. The name 'Orodruin' translates to 'Mountain of Fire' in the Sindarin language, reflecting its volcanic nature. It serves as a pivotal setting for the climax of the story, where Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee face immense challenges to destroy the Ring and thwart the dark lord Sauron.
