 Rognvald is a member of the board who joined on the 13th of September, 2011. He was formerly known as "Enclave". Under the Enclave name, he was mostly known to hang out in the Shared Worlds section of the board, with a few scattered trips to the Writer’s Forum to post fiction. Now, however, Rognvald is most active in Pre-1900, and rarely pokes his head into Shared Worlds. Rognvald is a member of the board who joined on the 13th of September, 2011.
