Plot:
*May Contain Spoilers*
Edward and Alphonse Elric are two alchemist brothers searching for the legendary catalyst called the Philosopher's Stone,
a powerful object which would allow them to recover their bodies. Born
in the village of Resembool from the country of Amestris, the two brothers lived there with their mother Trisha Elric. Their father, Von Hohenheim,
left home for unknown reasons and years later, Trisha died of a
terminal illness, leaving the Elric brothers alone. After their mother's
death, Edward became determined to bring her back through the use of alchemy,
an advanced science in which objects can be created from raw materials.
They researched Human Transmutation, a forbidden art in which one
attempts to create or modify a human being. However, this attempt
failed, resulting in the loss of Edward's left leg and Alphonse's entire
body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrificed his
right arm to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armour. Some days later,
an alchemist named Roy Mustang
visited the Elric brothers, and proposed that Edward become a member of
the State Military of Amestris in exchange for more research materials
to find a way to recover their bodies. After that, Edward's left leg and
right arm were replaced with automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb, built for him by his close family friends Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako.
Edward then became a State Alchemist, an alchemist employed by the State Military of Amestris, which infamously annihilated most of the Ishbalan race
in the past decade. Becoming a State Alchemist enables Edward to use
the extensive resources available to other State Alchemists. The
brothers set off in search of the Philosopher's Stone as a means to
restore their bodies. Throughout their journey, they meet allies and
enemies, including those who are willing to do anything to obtain the
Philosopher's Stone; Scar, one of the few surviving Ishbalans, who seeks vengeance on the State Alchemists for the destruction of his race; and the homunculi,
a group of human-like creatures who carry pieces of the Philosopher's
Stone inside themselves, and from it derive the ability to survive
almost any harm.
As the story progresses, Edward and Alphonse discover the vast
expansion of Amestris was the result of the homunculi, who created and
secretly control the State Military. The homunculi and much of the
high-ranking military officers are commanded from behind the curtains by
the creator of the homunculi, a man simply known as "Father."
Father gained immortality through a Philosopher's Stone, which he
created by tricking Hohenheim centuries before the series' timeline. He
plans to use Amestris as a gigantic transmutation circle in order to
transmute the entire country for reasons unknown to the Elrics. When
Edward and Alphonse discover Father's plans, they, along with other
members of the State Military, set out to defeat him. The Northern
"Briggs" Army (so named for their eponymous fortress) invades Central
City, Amestris's capital, and comes into conflict with the Central
forces.
As the forces collide, one by one, the remaining homunculi are
defeated and Central City's troops are enlightened about the truth of
the situation. Father tries to transmutate Amestris to gain god-like
powers but Hohenheim manages to stop him. A weakened Father is defeated
by Edward with his original arm, Al having sacrificed himself to bring
it back. Afterward, Ed sacrifices his ability to use alchemy to bring
Alphonse back in his original body. The Elrics return to Resembool, but
two years later, they separate in order to repay the people who helped
in their journey.
