2008 State of Amtgard Report
Overview
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.
We were blessed with a new Kingdom, the Desert Winds at Clan. 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.
