Joel, the easiest way for me to answer (assuming no one has plans otherwise)
is to give you the out-of-game information of what occured. The original
assassination attempt was the result of a random yearly event and could have
been chalked up to anything from a secret society to another nation to a
lone nutcase. But you paid attention and expended considerable effort to
get to the bottom of it so I decided to reward that by allowing you to find
information that you weren't specifically looking for--specifically, that
several other nations had spy network operation in your country (including
the V'raal by the way). From here (another example of good play that
deserved a reward) you turned the table on them and worked on your own spy
network backward through the same channels being used against you. I've
left the exact range of the network deliberately vauge to give you the
maximum possible options for play. In theory, any nation that borders the
Tal or Wyr rivers, within reason, you could consider to have some degree of
influence in. The amount of influence depending on how close the society in
question was to your nation and its supportes (further is weaker, closer is
stronger, in your own borders strongest.) That's why I haven't given a
simple answer to the range or the reason. The range is subjective, working
to your advantage, and the reason is undefined. You (or someone else) could
take it and expand on it or you can consider the matter effectively closed.
Either way, with your current network, Villard is significantly safer. I
hope that's a clear answer that you can use.
