         <p>Naughty dog is known for their ability to tell stories that emotionally connect the
            player in the game throughout their movie type titles. The Uncharted series is perhaps
            the most well known for not only telling emotionally impactful stories, but also giving
            anyone who plays it the feeling that they are in an action movie, a feeling that not
            even movies themselves can reproduce. Through all these stories and adventures, the
            games have an underlying goal which has its own story. In Uncharted 2,3 and 4, the goal
            that the main characters set is to find ancient cities that aren't known if they
            actually exist or not. While finding these cities is the main goal of the game, it is
            the story of the characters in which the game mainly focuses on, leaving these cities as
            a backdrop with little information given about them, but I wanted to find out more.</p>
         <p> I am a huge fan of the Uncharted series, as I have been playing them for nearly 10
            years now, and have played each title various times. Each game holds a different story,
            but keeps characters, and continues to build upon their personalities and traits through
            each title in the series. To many that play the games, you develop a personal connection
            to these characters, as you play as Nathan Drake, and are joined for most of the game by
            a varying cast of quirky and enjoyable people who you never get to play as. While this
            storytelling is what Uncharted is mostly known for, I always wanted to know more about
            the ancient cities that each title uses as its end-game experience. In each game, aside
            from the massive set pieces you play through, the best part to play thorugh for me was
            finding and exploring the lost cities that so much is said about during the games. While
            so much detail and backstory is put into these segments, they always come at the end of
            the game, and never last long as each one is destroyed in some insane series of events,
            leaving it in shambles and lost forever. In this project, I focused on looking into the
            cities from the third and fourth games. These cities are Iram of the Pillars, which is
            from ancient Arabic writing, most notably the Quran, and the pirate utopia Libertalia,
            mentioned in the writings by Daniel Defoe. I hope you enjoy the summary of each game
            that I wrote up and the notes and character explanations included in each file. I also
            included the original text of both cities as seperate files. Also as a warning, there
            are spoilers for both the third and fourth game in the Uncharted series, so read at your
            own risk!</p>
