| ==History==
| |
| Prior to the Summer Solstice 387YE, the Speaker of the Magpies was appointed by the Vigilance Assembly. When the Senate chose to recognise the Magpies as a formal [[Imperial Sodality]], the appointment method changed to that traditional for all such fellowships - vote by the members of the sodality itself.
