It was almost déjà vu... Mordor, from Lord of the Rings, immediately came to mind as I looked around and trekked the ocean of lava rocks towards the base of Mount Mayon (which, in LOTR-speak, would now be the equivalent of Mt.

On his birthday, Sméagol went fishing with his friend, Déagol, among the beds of irises and flowering reeds by the banks of the Great River, Anduin. Suddenly, a big fish pulls Déagol into the water and drags him to the river-bottom. There, in a handful of mud, he finds a curious object: a ring.
