    Got the impression that what we found in the sea was the pandaemonium of eld.

    Nope, was outright confirmed that Athena ripped out a chunk of Azys Lla (specifically the Aetherochemical Research Facility, a.k.a. where Lahabrea died), transformed it into Pandaemonium, and slammed it down into the Aetherial Sea.

    You could make an argument that she picked the Aitiascope because that was near where Pandaemonium was, though--narratively it's there because it's the part of the Aetherial Sea we have easy access to, but Athena doesn't have any stated reason she slapped it down in that part of the Aetherial Sea, so that reason's as good as any.

    But then Azys Lla is a miss-mash of various different regions. So there is the possibility that the Allagans crammed whatever was left of pandaemonium (unbeknownst of it's significance) into the floating mess. Only for Athena to use it for it's recreation.

    The floating land masses came from what is now the Burn. Some of the buildings were ported in from different places.

    We know where the land came from. The area that would become known as the Burn.

    She plopped it down there cause it was near to us and she wanted ti study us remember? Also near all those souls she needed

My money would be on it being subterranean or in the Interdimensional Rift somewhere.

    It's definitely a loose thread the writers are leaving themselves when they need a cheap and easy filler.
    I thought that it was under the islands hidden in the clouds and behind seals, thus hidden deep in the... mawlstrom... below ishgard... fuuuuuuuu
