To travel from Shard to Aesry go to the Southeast quadrant of Shard to the fourth floor of the Houses Consulate building and then GO SKYLIGHT to wait for the ship:
[Houses Consulate, Fourth Floor Foyer]
Covering most of the northern wall, a massive scroll reaches skyward, its pale tan surface covered with countless names. High above, several mosaic stained glass skylights have been carefully disguised among the vivid paintings of the cathedral ceiling. From behind a simple pine desk, a frazzled clerk copies various records to a thick black book placed on the desk before her.
You also see a frosted glass door, some steps leading down and an open skylight.
Obvious exits: none.
The Elothean aeromancer says, "I'm leaving shortly, returning to Aesry Surlaenis'a. If you would like to accompany me for a safe trip there, just join me." The Elothean aeromancer smiles.

[Aesry Surlaenis'a, Landing Field]
The grasses of this wide clearing have been pressed flat under the weight of reiterant traffic. Various stakes and anchors are installed near the center of the field, while little blue flags are set at even intervals around it to delineate its functional borders.

Interior
Balloon
[Aboard the Balloon, Gondola]
A veritable spiderweb of ropes secures this boat-like gondola to the gigantic balloon above. A massive cast-iron stove squats at one end of the craft, occasionally belching acrid green smoke. In addition to the shelter provided by the balloon itself, a sturdy oilcloth awning protects passengers from the worst of the elements, while several oaken benches provide seating.
You also see a rope ladder.
Obvious exits: none.
Dirigible
[Aboard the Dirigible, Gondola]
An intricate network of silken rope connects the dirigible's sleek copperwood gondola to the massive charcoal and silver striped balloon above. At the stern of the boat-like vessel, an odd contraption resembling a convoluted silver stove hums sonorously as various runes flicker across its polished surface. At the bow, a semi-enclosed cabin provides a row of silk-padded benches for comfort and protection from the elements during transit.
You also see a rope ladder.
Obvious exits: none.
