Not sure if that was ever really explained. Shadowrun does that a lot- leaves open ended situations so that you can do what you want with them. To my mind, they always reminded me of those Theran floating Guild Houses from Earthdawn. |

Harley's phrases in the Tir Tairngire book were either unknown Sperethiel words or another language, likely Theran or Precursor Sperethiel.
The buildings (which are no longer floating)) could either have been a reference to the floating buildings of the ED era or the more recent revelation of the floating isle of Mu. Take your pick. |

In legend, Mu was a continent which sank beneath the waves much like Atlantis did. Here's a link: http://www.occultopedia.com/m/mu.htm
(Of course, some name it "Mu" and some name it "Lemuria"... something which, as I recall, was referenced in Nigel Findley's novel "Lone Wolf".) |
