Nope, they share a world.
Not a system.
That said, the Earthdawn system is clunky and unbalanced, but quite unique in todays day and age in that it adds different types of dice to roll over a certain target number. The circles adepts (the general term for all the heroes in it) achieve are similar but different enough to/from levels tog et a feeling for the power involved.
Overall I Enver liked the system, but getting it to another system without losing a LOT of fluff takes tremendous effort (trust me, I tried and gave up^^).
So to sum it up: the world is simply fantastic (in most senses of the word), the system between sucky and above average. If you value a system and world integration (inGame and OutGame Terms being the same for example) and some uniqueness over ease of use, speed and balance, go for it!

Re: Is Earthdawn worth tracking down?
A neutron walks into a bar and says, “How much for a beer?” The bartender says, “For you? No charge.”

Later: An atom walks into a bar an asks the bartender “Have you seen an electron? I left it in here last night.” The bartender says, “Are you sure?” The atom says, “I’m positive.”
