Set in Europe in the early part of the 20th Century, FULL METAL ALCHEMIST's semi-mythical world is one in which people with special abilities are able to manipulate and transform objects from one form to another. These people are known as alchemists. However, this manipulation process does not come without a price, as young brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric learn to their cost.
Be Thou For The People
Now a fully qualified State Alchemist, Ed is given his first official mission in the form of a routine inspection of a coalmine in the small town of Youswell. Ed and Al arrive to find the town in financial and industrial decline, and the locals bearing a deep-rooted contempt for any representatives of the State. The cause of the unrest is traced to a corrupt military official named Yoki and his young assistant, Ryla, herself a skilled and dangerous alchemist.
