Actually, that got me to thinking if the Power Cores, truly ancient ones, are Protoss pylons. The pylons were where one could place Protoss buildings. Hmm. Probably not but that is what you got me to thinking.

I thought there was a line about the predator having a longer range because of efficiency, and there was the passage describing the Etheric Sight and how the ether was all funneling in a massive current down the spire. Those two made me wonder if it werent more fundamentally related to the presence of the Etheric forces.
raidem:
Ahh, that better explains what you meant.
I wouldnt say though that the Spires are actual Pylons, in Starcraft the pylons were relatively small. But I do like that the Spires may have been partially inspired by Starcraft Pylons.
It is also important to note that the Pylons and other Protoss buildings were teleported into place with Protoss technology.
Like Jim, I really got into Starcraft around 1998-2000. And like him, haven't really cared so much about Starcraft 2.

Partially inspired is all Im going for here, in the same way that the Vord were partially inspired by the Zerg. So size and crystalline structure aside it could still be a structure designed to harness and distribute an exotic energy.

Albion would be what was left of England - Olympia would be Greece - Aurora could be several different places, although I'm leaning towards Italy.

Aurora is a Far North or Far South phenomena.
I also found this, which may give some clues as the who the Aurorans descended from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(heraldry)
