The Red Book Podcast ran for 12 episodes. This is the seventh episode. In The Lord of the Rings, the decision to attempt a journey to Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring of Sauron did not come easily. Many options are discussed during The Council of Elrond. In this episode, I explore the suggestions made by various members, the problems with each, and why the most difficult decision the Council made was also the right one.
