Münich, Germany, 1923. Two years have passed since Edward Elric was dragged from his own world to ours, leaving behind his country, his friends and his younger brother, Alphonse Elric . Stripped of his alchemical powers, all this time he has been researching rocketry together with Alphonse Heiderich , a young man very much resembling his own brother, hoping to one day find a way back home. His efforts so far have proven fruitless, but when he hears that the Thule Society , an occult group strongly tied to the Nazi Party, discovered what could be a clue to the location of the legendary, mystical place called Shamballa , Edward's hopes are renewed. Meanwhile, in his own world, Alphonse Elric ventures deeper into the mysteries of alchemy in search for a way to reunite with his older brother.
