The latest issue of the Primgraph - Issue 12: Airship Pirates - Scourge of the Skies is now available!It seems that our last issue, featuring those dastardly pirates, occasioned much interest among our readers. And, as nothing so delights us as much as pleasing our readers, we decided that we would tackle the subject of airship pirates in this issue!
And a mysterious message that I received one dark and stormy night had nothing to do with this decision—oh, goodness me, no! Although, you can read all about it later in the magazine.
Mr Linus Lacombe set out to investigate the only empire in the Steamlands—Steeltopia.
And he also enjoyed a late night drink and conversation with the Emperor himself—SteelCobra Calamari.
Miss Elegia Underwood visited Armada Breakaway to discover the changes that had occurred since the Great Fire (covered in
our issue for October 2009).
Miss CathyWyo1 Haystack interviewed the pirate with a suspicious path that now plays a significant part in running Breakaway's floating city—Mr Remington Thursday.
Frau Annechen Lowey provides us the correct etiquette needed when travelling by airship… and how to avoid a disastrous defenestration from an alarming height.
Miss Ceejay Writer provides invaluable advice on how to join the rascally bands of airship pirates who sail the skies of the Steamlands, while Miss Jedburgh30 Dagger provides an account of how to choose and fly an airship—and how to do battle as well.
Miss Beq Janus has contributed a fascinating article on airship pirates in history and literature. And, in order that you should be properly dressed for such encounters, Her Grace the Duchess of Carntaigh, Gabrielle Riel, provides wise and timely fashion advice.
Further fashion advice is supplied by Miss Naergilien Wunderlich, who provides information on the history of high heels (which we do not recommend you wear while flying with airship pirates).
There is coverage of events within and without our Steamlands this month. Herr Baron KlausWulfenbach Outlander has provided a wonderful description of the Grand Tour of the Steamlands for Relay for Life®, while Miss Ceejay Writer has provided a description of the World Steam Expo in Dearborn, Michigan at which The Primgraph played a small part.
There’s another Lost Chapter for you to enjoy, this time by Miss Eloisa Denimore whose diligent researches have uncovered what was really in the attic of Mr Rochester's Thornfield home. And we hope you will enjoy the gorgeous illustrations by Miss Twisted Lemon.
And in The Quest for the Golden Prim, the Expedition makes landfall in Steelhead—and sets about discovering Mr Carruthers, the man who supplied the mysterious diary to the Librarian. But a terrible shock awaits the academics as they pursue this mystery. And there are shocks too for our reporter Emily Lockhart, still a secret stowaway on the Flying Phoenix, and for our heroine Nan. And what makes Ralph abandon his companions in Steelhead?
We have more of our classic serial, “The Mysteries of London”—as well as news from around the Steamlands and other vintage sims.
So, with no shortage of fascinating articles and beautiful illustrations supplied by our brilliantly talented team of photographers, we welcome you to this twelfth issue of The Primgraph.

The fabulous Four Winds store found that they had had a lot of extra prims available their Castleworks region so Koshari Mahana decided to use some of her shops to create a Victorian and Vintage market, Willowhaven, available to other sellers. There are a total of 21 shops and 21 carts to rent.
Shops are going fast! They rented out almost 1/2 of the 21 shops in just the first day. Choose yours soon! Prims are flexible so if you need more or less just let Koshari know and she can adjust the box. All prims are 2L$ each.
The theme of the market is historical, 1700-1950. Koshari prefers Victorian and Vintage here but says that a little earlier and a little later is fine too. She is firm that there should be no modern or sci-fi element. Steampunk is welcomed but cyberpunk is not!
Julia Collection's Unique Furniture is competing in the MadPea Hunt (from July 1st to 31st) with a really gorgeous prize of a Love Boat.
