In the process Edward lost his left leg, and Alphonse lost his body; to bring back Alphonse, Edward sacrifices his right arm to attach Alphonse's soul to a suit of armour.

Years later, they arrive in the desert city of Lior in search of a legendary alchemical artifact, the Philosopher's Stone, which has become their only hope of recovering their original bodies. Edward is now a State Alchemist, using his position to obtain the resources to enable his and Alphonse's search. The brothers are forced to deal with a corrupt religious leader using a mysterious red stone which imitates the power of a true Philosopher's Stone to create "miracles".

Soon afterward, Roy Mustang - a military official - tricks the Elric brothers into boarding a train carrying General Haruko, and an enemy of the Eastern Rebellion. The Elric brothers are entangled in military affairs and are forced to fight a group of terrorists on board in order to save the General. Graphic novel list
