And lol, the Dark Land was mentioned once in one early map and never mentioned again.
I edited no less than three times. Go back and read my post if you want to see those edits.
But, basically, we don't know much beyond middle earth. The land of the south may be part of Middle Earth....I just could not find something "canon" to back that up.
Edit - found a thread that talks about this in better detail than I could hope to do.

Based on that, the fact that a fire doesn't even make the ring hot, compound that with the last fact that it was forged in a magical volcano, and it is the most powerful artifact in the second and third age; no, a lightsaber definitely will not cut the ring. Only the place from which it was forged can dissolve the ring...due to magic.
