KayQy, I found a nice usage of "doom" in the dwarves' song in the Hobbit:
"they heard the tramp of doom" - tramp of doom sounds good, doesn't it?
Earlier in the same song I found the noun "fells" - I'm assuming it's related to the adjective "fell", which is another word worth looking at. The context that spontaneously occurs to me is "one fell swoop". Anyone have some more etymology on that one?
