Setting
State Military's lack of oversight in Reole, combined with the strong
religious sense of the citizens, make's it an easy target for those
with a foul purpose. Almost a hundred years ago, Cornello promised
riches and everlasting life, even resurrection of dead loved ones, for
those who followed him. Though the people of Reole believed he could
truly perform miracles, Cornello was merely performing alchemy, using a small Philosopher's Stone, mounted on a ring he wore, to violate the
Law of Equivalent Exchange.
