Project Update: Campaign Complete 🌿✨
Dear Apothecarians,
Thank you for your support during Pintopia 2026. Seeing so many of you return and welcoming new Apotheca Maesters into the Order has been truly amazing. This world grows because of you.
🗳️ The poll ended, and the results are in!
For the next Apotheca adventure, we’ll be traveling to the Swamp biome, uncovering new ingredients, and exploring an entirely new environment.
💌 Communications
Over the coming weeks, you will receive additional updates on the surveys and production updates as they happen.
We are currently processing camping charges, so make sure your card information is set up correctly to avoid a decline and missing out.
Thank you for believing in Apotheca. What started as a small spark has evolved into something truly magical, with exploration, new worlds, and creative ideas.
The production work begins 🌿✨

Project Update: 🍃 Apotheca Updates: Poll and Short Story
Two things are unfolding now. First, I’d love for you to help me decide where the Order of Apotheca will go next. I’ve opened a poll so you can choose the path that calls to you most.
Second, I’m sharing a short story that explores how Arum came to join us in this world. Storytelling and imagination are at the heart of Apotheca, and this piece is a glimpse into what’s hopefully to come.

Project Update: 🌿 A Note from the Apothecary Explorer
It has been a great first week! With your support and engagement, we’ve reached our pledge goal and unlocked all pin designs. Thank you, truly.
Being able to bring ideas to life is something every creator treasures, and I’m very grateful to be able to share this world with all of you.
✦ New Add-On: The Travel Tool Box ✦
I’ve added one of my most complex creations so far, and a beloved design from a past Apotheca campaign, to the add-ons list: the Travel Tool Box. This interactive hinged pin is available in a very limited quantity, so for those of you who love detailed, tactile designs, this one’s for you.
✦ A First Look at the World ✦
For the past few years, I’ve been building this world, studying ecosystems, climates, and cartography for inspiration to create a landscape that feels grounded and alive. A place where companions roam, specimens thrive, and discoveries unfold naturally.
Below is the first rough draft of the world map. This land is made up of many ecosystems, rich with flora and fauna, all woven into the greater story of the Order. I’m currently in the process of developing these regions further and look forward to sharing more with you.
✦ The Compaso Sigil Tool ✦
The Compaso Sigil Tool is designed to work in unison with the Codex, helping Apotheca Maesters interpret an ingredient’s alchemical nature. It is a guiding instrument that plays an important role in the creation of refined Apocemas, high-value Archemas, and other apothecarian creations. Through its spinning motion, the sigil reveals the hidden nature of the ingredients we encounter in our travels.
There is much more to this tool than meets the eye.
In the next update, I’ll be sharing more about the world of the Order of Apotheca and my journey in creating this multilevel universe. Those who enjoy world-building and lore will find even more waiting to be uncovered.
With gratitude and appreciation
—Jen, Elm Tree Studio
