I think what Ithil really needs is some social RP events where people can meet each other. Like Laurelin has Green Dragon Friday and Hall of Fire Wednesdays or how Landroval has Ales and Tales. Something in game where people can form a sense of community.
I had intentions of starting up something like this, but RL has been making things very difficult for me for several months now. Though I think things in RL are looking up now so if anyone else would like to help get some social events going I'd be willing to dive in.
