My story is set in a WWI sort of era, but the war is mostly in the background and it focuses on home front conflicts (elves are all conscientious objectors, etc). I know a decent amount about the war technology of the period from reading military history, but resources about civilian tech are somewhat more difficult to find. I'm assuming electricity, telegraphs, telephones for rich people and the military, and holdovers of horse-based technology slowly being replaced by internal combustion engines. Magic in my setting isn't useful as an offensive weapon or a power source; it's primarily used to make mundane technology more reliable. However, archaeologists are starting to realize that more powerful magics existed in the distant past.
