If there where to be a word of the year it would be 'Growth'. Forty eight new or reestablished chapters are known to have formed this year, with [[florida]] taking the prize for most chapter's formed in one state at nine. The former is due in large part to the absorption of most of the [[Sakura Moon Shogunate]], which at the time told it's members that they were a legal amtgard kingdom. This was not the case.  From this interaction we gained six new chapters.

Of the chapters founded this year eight are known to have failed, the remaining  forty continue. Six other chapter have also failed this year, leaving 243 active known chapters in the wiki, the [[ORK]] which only lists chapters that use it's record keeping or Atlas services lists 235. [[Rewth]] and his deputies are working to get every known chapter included in at least the atlas portion.

[[Montana]] saw it's first new chapter since the formation of the [[Northern Ice Realms]] which went defunt sometime in [[2003]], [[Skystone]] was founded by [[Loup]] in Billings.  House Springs, [[Missouri]] also has a new chapter, the [[Rolling Hills of Baal]]. [[Ohio]] gained three chapters in; Oxford, Girard, and Vaughnsville.

'''Desert Winds'''

We were blessed this year with a new Kingdom, the [[Desert Winds]] located mainly in Utah at the [[Gathering of the Clans]]. The [[CoM]] voted unanimously to grant them this elevated status.

40 players were knighted this year, the first being [[Venus Hünüwhogod]], she is also the only known person to be knighted in Neverwinter this year. The [[Wetlands]] knighted by far the most people, belting nine individuals. The [[Rising Winds]] and [[Goldenvale]] were second runners up each creating five new knights. 
 
  
−
Eighteen new knights of the flame, were created Ten Knights of the Serpent, Nine of the Crown, and three of the Sword. Tweleve of those belted had already been inducted into other orders, and Twenty eight were new knights.
 
  
−
At the time of writing there have been 521 knights created ever. That's an average of twenty knights or so,  (20.8), per year. 129 of those Knighted have been of the Crown, 250 have been in order of the Flame, 174 have been of the Serpent, and 103 have been of the Sword.

'''By Kingdom'''<br>
 
−
With 40 knights and 13 kingdoms, you have an average of 3.077 knights per Kingdom, that is not however how it fell out.  Some have commented on what is apparently a large number being knighted this year, however, 33 knights were created [[2007|last year]]. So considering our new kingdom, and the large number of Wetlanders belted, the numbers haven't actually jumped that high.

2008 saw the release of the [[7.5]] version of the [[rulebook]].
