The trusting and grateful Bonath citizens are initially happy that their King is paying so much attention to them, but are betrayed when the workers who had been digging the trench during the day ransack the village at night, killing all the people and livestock and burning the buildings to the ground so as to carve a crest of blood into the circle.

As part of the Nationwide Transmutation Circle, the increasing death toll in Fotset is a consequence of Central Command's interference on behalf of the Homunculi.

Riviere was a small country (or perhaps a city-state) which, over three hundred years prior to the start of the series in July 1558, was attacked by the earliest settlers of the country that would come to be known as Amestris without a declaration of war. The conquest of Riviere would serve as the first major point in Amestrian history as well as the first act of aggression in their long, militant legacy. Now, Riviere is a city in the northwest region of Amestris, still stained with the crest of blood carved into it so many centuries ago. As such, it is a point in the Nationwide Transmutation Circle being constructed by the homunculi. When Vato Falman goes over a list of places of military action, Riviere (the first) stands out in particular as it serves as the first clue to the fact that the nation of Amestris was created from nothing in order to forge the Transmutation Circle.
