It is something I am actually surprised someone hasn't picked up on already.Maybe that is what the Empress' relic does and why it is an Empire?Maybe one could be found later on?It's freeform folks..In Freeform conventional thinking goes out the window, into the garden and it just so happens to be Guy Fawkes night so look they're burning.

My thought was for the Aerii people, or the bird people, to essentially be the more mechanical type. Not totally steam-power, but elevators and goods transports powered by steam. Both handheld-crossbows and towers that fire very large, anti-seige crossbow bolts. The type that would have to be manned by the larger, stronger humans. Think of a less advanced Dwemer from Skyrim. More of just the elevators and gates and crossbows and pipes.
