The Compass Project Series

The Compass Project Series is a quartet of books written by T.Hearts as a lore supplementary to The Storm Series.

## Origins

The first concept arts for the series were created way back in 2016, with just a few characters; IO, Griffin, Nico, and Xavier (Formerly called Khamai) though the original plotline has changed over time. It was only in late 2019 when T.Hearts finally began writing the official drafts for Sirocco, Gregale, and Libeccio that the series began to take shape.

Unlike the Storm Series, it takes a different perspective upon ARCDA, Elites, Synths, Hasekura, Ferals, Bionics, and the projects themselves to what Storm knows of, and is set 2-3 years before the events of Stormbite with some of the actions and events directly impacting the story.

## Books in the Series

### Sirocco

Sirocco is the first book in the Compass series. It follows Griffin accidentally stumbling upon IO and the Sirocco project whilst she is in the middle of one final mission before she is reinstated to being a Diamond Elite once again. However when IO accidentally interferes with Griffin's assignment, it brings with it a whole other tornado of trouble.

The title comes from the name of the Sirocco project, an Avio project that was set up by Eve Mira.

### Gregale

Gregale is the second book and follows on from Sirocco.

Occurring after Sirocco, Griffin has to argue with the project lead of Sirocco, Eve Mira, that the Sirocco sisters should be left alone rather than returned to Core to be processed into the Elite system. During this Eve Mira brings up Griffin's connection to the Mistral Project, and offers her compensation for her lost wings by having her moved to the Gregale Project; a project that is focused upon creating bionic-wings and replacement limbs for Avios.

## Trivia

* The Compass Project is named after the 4 of the 8 principle winds. notably, the Mariner's Windrose, taking the names from the diagonal points of the compass rather than North, East, South, and West.
* All of the compass project names are mentioned in Stormbite when Storm is researching Eve. However they are labeled as either disbanded projects or are locked and she has no way of looking into them.
	+ It is noted that Malana comes from the Libeccio project.
	+ Mistral is also mentioned by Nerissa Pavo, that she is waiting for details to emerge from the Mistral Project in regards to 'reliable designs' for new wings
* T.Hearts affectionately refers to the books by their short names: Rocco, Greg, Libby, and Misty.
