Dio mio! Buildings that size must be enormous to support their own weight... most of the buildings I know are only three floors at most. But a hundred? Even the Torre di Pisa only has seven, eight if you count the bell chamber, and look what has happened to it!
[He visibly frowns at Harry's questions.]
Ah, so no one has told you. During Jaunts, there are two groups of Travelers: Investigators, who are sent into the worlds we visit as normal, with their own abilities and memories, just like you and I are currently... and then there are Infiltrators, who are sent into these worlds and have their abilities and memories erased. These are then replaced with memories and abilities of a person from the world we are visiting. They have the faces of our friends, but they believe they are from that world. And many of the Infiltrators recognize each other as having been a part of this world for a very long time as well.
For example, the Illuminated treated each other as family, almost. A very... strange sort of family. Some of them had been in the Kingdom of Dolorosa for at least fifteen years, by their memories.
