LOTR: Mount Doom, The Final - SS13 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Wizard of Ooze: Hello,
I’m a volunteer reviewer for geocaching.com. In a routine check of area caches, I see that there is a problem with your cache LOTR: Mount Doom, The Final - SS13. This is a bonus or puzzle/mystery cache such as this, which requires finding other caches in a series to determine the coordinates of the bonus cache. When one or more of the other caches are archived/missing (in this case 2 in the series are gone) the final bonus cache is no longer valid as one of the conditions is that all the information required to complete the final is present and available on the cache page.

As your local reviewer, I am required to archive your bonus cache as it no longer fulfills the requirements for a bonus cache. I’ve archived your listing to make way for new, active caches to be placed.

Thank you for your contribution to geocaching,

Mount Doom, also known as Orodruin, and Amon Amarth was a volcano in Mordor where the One Ring was forged and destroyed in Sammath Naur, the Cracks of Doom, a fiery chasm within the mountain. It was the ultimate destination for Frodo's Quest of the Ring.

History
When Sauron chose the land of Mordor as his dwelling-place in the Second Age, Mount Doom was the reason for his choice. He 'used the fire that welled there from the heart of the earth in his sorceries and his forging.' The most famous result of his forging, and in fact the only one we know of for sure, was the One Ring.

Mount Doom was much more than just any volcano - Sauron seems to have extended his own power into it, just as his former master Melkor had extended his own power into the flesh of Arda as his means of corrupting the Valar's shaping of the world. In his case, it was probably due to his use of it as a foundry for the forging of the Ring, and was able to control its fires. It seems to have lain dormant when Sauron was away from Mordor, and sprung into life when his power grew.

With the destruction of the Ring, Mount Doom had a final, massive eruption, sending massive lava flows down all sides and scattering the area with volcanic debris. Several of the falling lava balls went flying at the Nazgûl as they tried to escape on their Fell Beasts, destroying the riders and their mounts.

To find the location of Mount Doom, you must visit the other lands of the LOTR.
