Comment on Why nor????

Much easier to just find a way to build a better furnace.

Easy solution, send a rocket or two to take out the Eye of Sauron before launching the one with the ring. Perhaps launch a flurry of them to overwhelm any remaining air defenses, which won’t know which one has it.
Nope. It’s not about the heat at mount doom, but the magic bound in the ring.

You have the maker of the ring^[Shadow of Mordor]!
Just make a magic furnace.

Okay, but you need materials that can only be sourced from mount doom

That shouldn’t be the case, sure you can find some other volcano on the planet, no?
Oh right, perhaps there were no Geologists among the Elves/Dwarves. Were they not?
