It's true, it doesn't matter. Especially with our worlds being so vastly different despite the similarities.
It happened 400 years ago, I believe. A century or so before I was born, though it could possibly have been longer, there was a great civilization. I couldn't tell you the name and honestly it hardly matters.
What matters is that two people were experimenting in secret there-- a man and a woman. Whatever they were after was important enough to start sacrificing the lives of hundreds of people and then later thousands but it still wasn't enough. What they were after would take outright genocide to be successful.
It was the first time the two of them created the Philosopher's Stone, but it wouldn't be the last. The city was shoved underground and left to become a mere afterthought. A legend, even, because how can an entire country vanish in a single night? Such a thing should be impossible.
The man went on to become infamous in his own right, if only because of the eventual feud with the woman.
And the woman? Well. She fancied herself rather important and went on to create a host of servants for herself.
