Formendacil has reminded me of that which is obvious enough, but managed to slip my mind.

Just a thought...
Inhabitants of Mordor can't just up and leave. It will be understood that negotiations take place in Mordor because Mordorian ambassadors are not allowed to leave and, given that they are soon to commence discussion on immigration laws, they will not be slipping out of the country illegally in order to meet up with Mardil's people.

I'll edit my post somewhat this afternoon (EST) to accomodate this, unless Jen would like to take care of such details with Lola? I can quite easily see Alli's orders being "I want everyone in this castle. Find me a plausible excuse for it." and continuing on with her work.
