Resembool

Resembool is an isolated and idyllic town and the home of the Elrics. It is the location of many significant events in both the manga and the anime. Winry and Pinako live in the town, and it is also the site of the childhood home of the brothers Elric. It was here that they first met their teacher Izumi Curtis and decided that they wanted to learn Alchemy from her, after they saw her transmute without a circle in order to save the town from a flood.
