It was called Minas Morgul meaning 'The Tower of the Wraiths' and was also known as the Tower of Sorcery and the Dead City.
Ooh I'm feeling quite clever now. If this is right I've got enough pseudo-silmarils to make a lovely iron crown.

Yes, Daisy gets another pretty bauble. However, please wait for another 24 hours before answering the next one Daisy; give some of the others a chance, as I normally post only one question a day. Thanks

The ford of the River Bruinen also called Loudwater
Ainamenelwen, after you get one right, please wait for twenty-four hours after I post the next question to let the other members have a chance to answer it. I normally only post one question a day.

I thought it was like the first person who approaches the question answers it... because one other community that I belong to works that way... than again I should know better, not every community is the same

A poisoned spear my dear Master of Grond!
Technically it was a poisoned javelin, but that is just another name for a short spear, so Aulë wins the Pseudo-Silmaril.

None he was the only child!
"Although Bilbo often referred to Frodo as his 'favourite nephew', he was in fact his first cousin once removed (through his mother), and also his second cousin once removed (through his father)." Encyclopedia of Arda
Aha! I had forgotten that, I was so sure Bilbo was Frodos uncle. I blame PJ.

You’re welcome there Arco!
Too bad I couldn’t remember the answer myself! 
I looked at that question the other day when Grondy posted it, and for the life of me, without looking it up; I couldn’t remember the exact answer.
Doubt I’ll ever forget it again though now, man I must be getting a little rusty, gots to start brushing up!
Arcormacolindóva's got it and the Pseudo-Silmaril.

Ladyfea's answer is too general as it is only one of the entrances to Mordor. Peredhil has the correct answer and the Pseudo-Silmaril.

I believe it is "No Stone Unturned" because it isn't a chapter in The Hobbit and all the rest are!!
