"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. This I did."
- T.E Lawrence

Plot
"Nathan Drake and his partner Victor Sullivan are on a hunt for the lost city of Iram, a journey that leads them to the Arabian Peninsula and Rub' al Khali desert. They are pitted against the occult treachery of a shadowy clandestine organization and its ruthless leader, Katherine Marlowe. When the terrible secrets of the lost city are unearthed, Drake's quest descends into a desperate bid for survival that strains the limits of his endurance and forces him to confront his deepest fears."
"The story not only lifts from the life of Sir Francis Drake but also from the archaeology days of British Army officer T. E. Lawrence (aka Lawrence of Arabia)."
