Mt.+Doom

Mount Doom was the volcanic mountain in Moredor where the Ring was created and destroyed. Mount Doom stood on the Plateau of Gorgoroth in Mordor. Mount Doom was about 4,500 feet high. It had grey slopes that wre rugged and broken. There was a crater at the top from which smoke, fumes, and lava arose. Beneath the mountain was a cone of heat and fire. There was a road that led to Mount Doom from the Morgul Pass. Another road led from the Dark Tower to Mount Doom. The road was mainly repaired and maintained by Orcs. Sauron's Road went up the eastern slopes and went up the mountainside. On the cone was a doorway and inside was Sammah Naur, the Chambers of Fire, where the Crack of Doom led down to the Fire of Doom at the core of the mountain. Mordor was chosen by Sauron in the year 1000 of the Second Age because of its volcanic mountain. In the year 1600 of the Second Age he forged the One Ring there in the Chambers of Fire. It could only be destroyed by putting it back into the fires in which it was made.
