If it is true that a dragons-fire can melt the Ring than why didn't any of them try? Wouldn't Sauron be destroyed or severely weakened? Thanks! :)

It is not known if it really can melt the Ring - that's just something Gandalf said might be the only way to destroy the Ring without taking it to Mount Doom. However, the Dragons are pretty much extinct in Middle Earth at the time of the War of the Ring, and those who would be left would be on Sauron's side, not the Free People's.

Mm, yeah, they'd have to find a dragon first. Not an easy task. And how would they get close enough to melt something as small as a ring without being melted themselves? I'd choose Mordor, thanks. :P

No, dragon-fire could not be able destroy the Ring. Here's the passage in FotR (chapter 2) that talks about it...

Quote:
It has been said that dragon-fire could melt and consume the Rings of Power, but there is not now any dragon left on earth in which the old fire is hot enough; nor was there ever any dragon, not even Ancalagon the Blad, who could have harmed the One Ring, the Ruling Ring, for that was made by Sauron himself.


Might've been nice if they could've been able do it... but like Nie said, it wouldn't be an easy task. :P

But weren't some of the Dwarven Rings destroyed by dragons? :)

Yes, they were, me believes, but I think that The Ruling Ring was made of different matter - and since it was the greatest of all, it could not be melted by a mere dragon.
[and that doesn´t make sense, does it?]
