The Sulatar culture has maintained the elemental-binding techniques of their giant masters. However, they have specifically focused on fire elementals, and there's no indication that they have anything on the scope of the full airship. As such, the Zil gnomes - having explored additional elements, developed water and earth vessels, etc - have shown a level of innovation the drow don't appear to possess. The drow are the ones who are really just continuing to use the tools and techniques handed down by the ancients; the Zil are developing new things based on ancient inspiration. And while I could certainly see Sulatar angrily attacking a gnome vessel that crosses their territory, the idea that they are aware of anything going on in Khorvaire seems fairly unlikely to me. With that said, consider: a party of adventurers with a gnomish wizard or artificer (or a member of another race who's learned Bind Elemental) is called in by an agent of the Trust. There have been a series of mysterious murders - deaths of the top elemental binders of the nation. The PC may be on the list. As the mystery unfolds, we discover it's a cult of mysterious, fire-wielding dark elves, who consider the actions of these foreigners a violation of their Promise of Fire. This may rile people's dislike of "kewl drow"... but at the same time, it certainly sounds like a good pulp serial plot to me.</blockquote>
