In the 20th century, Dubai was a star in the Arabian desert.  Its ports were always bustling with airplanes, ships, and rockets.  The lights of its skyscrapers could be seen for miles across the rolling dunes.  But while the city grew ever bigger, brighter, and more grandiose, the world was crumbling around it.  Mines were exhausted, wells were running dry, and soon even the wealthy elite of Dubai were forced to face reality: Earth's sources of energy were running out.

Many promises were made that a new source of energy was just around the corner, sometimes in earnest, sometimes just to appease the angry masses, but nothing ever transpired.  There were wars and riots.  Civilization dissolved into tribes and factions squabbling over the last few oil wells and nuclear plants.

Civilization rises and falls, but the hardy nomads of the deserts carry on much as they always have, facing bands of thieves, monstrous mutant animals, and half-human abominations.  The promise of energy has receded in the face of simple survival.  But every once in a while, someone runs across something, an artifact or a long-forgotten secret.  Who knows what your ancestors dreamed up but never came to pass?
