    They don’t need to be built in active volcanoes like the one ring, they just need to be able to withstand the heat for a limited amount of time.

    Your convent peaked my interest, so I searched for the temperatures of lava and molten steel. Turns out (and I didn’t expect this at all): lava is 700-1300°C, steel is 1300-1500°C. I expected lava to be somewhere around 2500-3000 °C, so i thought you would have to be quicker than foundry personnel. Instead, you would have even more time than with molten steel to get a cut of fresh lava straight from the vulcano and drink it.
