A year and a half after the events of 'The Raw' we return to Homisett to find our two favorite apothecaries stuck in a rut, struggling to find meaning in everyday life after the fantastical adventures they experienced. The situation arises in which they must leave their shop for a few days and travel to the distant village of Luteum on an errand for Granny. Although they are reluctant to leave their shop perhaps a little vacation will be just the thing to snap them out of it. However, they don't seem to get much relaxing done as one thing leads to another and the next thing they know they're in the snowy mountains of The Vertebral Ridge and beyond, on a mission to reunite with some old companions. In this second installment of The Raw Universe we see a mix of old faces and new as our friends carve out a path in the world encountering forces that are good, bad, and misunderstood.
