What is Spriggan about?

A great civilization once existed on Earth. It possessed knowledge and scientific capabilities far surpassing those of modern humans, and the relics of this ancient civilization remain hidden around the world to this day. As high-speed communication networks span the globe and the prying eyes of satellites uncover all secrets, the armies of powerful nations clash to unearth and study these artifacts, which hold unfathomable "power."

A member of this ancient civilization engraved a message on a tablet: "Protect our relics from evildoers." An organization takes this message to heart and strives to seal away this ancient civilization forever.
