I personally feel Minas Tirith would be a good choice. In order to do the game in 8-10 weeks, you'll need to focus on what's really important.

Could the first scene be Finduilas' introduction to the court, after her arrival from Dol Amroth, with each of the characters watching her carefully and revealing their feelings about the situation?

Some of these posts could relate to their disappointment at seeing a "foreigner" come in. Others could concern personal things (e.g., the nurse's reservations on how Finduilas is now a full-grown woman) or the expectations of Finduilas' ladies and maids in hoping that things will go well for them in a new city.

This would be a clear cut way to start things out, and easy for people to compose a first post. Everyone would just need to keep in mind what their characters actually do and don't know about what's taking place.

One question: Will the spies be revealing who they are to the reader of the RPG, or will they keep these thoughts hidden away even from the reader until a certain point in the game??
