  I wouldn’t put it past the ring to manipulate some octopus to carry it back to land.

    Have the dwarves cast in into a huge lump of steel a dump it way out in the ocean.

      Fifth-age Mordorian Nazis would scour the ocean floor for it in their submersibles until they find it.

      At that point no one in Middle Earth would still even believe in the One Ring, if any had even heard of it outside of fairy tales told to children.

        I’m not big on lotr lore. My Atlas of Middle Earth was mostly just used for RPG, and the Silmarillion has been left untouched on the book-shelves in my home. But are you saying that there’s a nazi-hunting-artifacts storyline? Like Indiana Jones in Middle Earth?

      Too risky.
      What if the huge lump of steel ends up having a hole (imperfection, which would be caused by the will of Sauron affecting the Dwarven workers’ concentration) and someone then puts a finger in it.

        Have guards at a safe distance ready to flood the casting floor with molten iron, while the dwarves are working. It may be cruel, but an influenced dwarf wouldn’t get away with the ring.

        Imperfections would be acceptable. I mean once the ring is encased in 2 tons of steel good frigging luck getting to it unnoticed.
