airships?

still canon or retconned?

I'm sure they exist only because we're now using muskets and what-not.

but the question is, in greater numbers?

Here's my interpretation of airships in modern Aeria.

They aren't around. The technology was first implemented by a very justifiably antisocial inventor of magitechnology that only had one true apprentice, Dean Angelis, who in turn took all of his secrets to his grave. Assuming the use of magic to supplement electrical power and any technology that follows is -incredibly- rare, one could assume that other inventors have resorted to conventional technology fit for the age of muskets and matchlocks. For those who would argue that if magitech is possible in Aeria then it should exist, note that those with access to reliable magic would probably opt for the use of teleportation.

This isn't to say that airships cannot exist. Maybe teleportation goes out of style. Maybe someone decides to hunt down Dean's last residence and rifles through his workshop for schematics and blueprints. It has been established that Dean did choose a life of solitude to perfect his master's designs and work on his own inventions, all things he never planned or wanted to share with anyone.

This is just a suggestion, mind.

Very well. I like the suggestion however.

it'd be hard to represent it on-server. but i don't see why they can't exist in the world around us.

Omap had no problem making one on-server so that point is moot.

Omap played the inventor who tutored Dean. That's the entire point.

Suddenly, goblins invent one and bomb Surna with bricks that have been shat recently.

All because Dean didn't get the fucking patent XD
