While normally the First Circuit would be allowed to elect this representative from among the potential candidates, the Capital Preference clause gave the Precentor of the new realm's capital planet first claim to it. Citing this law, and over the objections of Precentors Tharkad and New Avalon, Primus [[Myndo Waterly]] seated an ardent supporter of hers, [[Gardner Riis]], as the newest member of the council in [[3041]].<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 64</ref> ==References== ==References== Line 22:
