Hello Iwaku!
I'm doing a worldbuilding project that is a science fantasy setting, leaning heavy into the fantasy half.
My setting has 8 flat worlds and a ninth hidden world - the spirit world. The Spirit world itself is a very active place and likes to meddle with the mortal realms, a lot. So imagine lots of monsters and hauntings and such. Magic is also connected to the spirit world. Magic users are children or descendants of those children from gods who 'pulled a Zeus'. So they are basically unwanted demi-gods wandering the earthly realms.
So here's something about why technology in my setting evolved the way it did. Since magic was only reserved for the children of gods, they automatically ruled the worlds. In the beginning everything went well but then the commoners eventually got tired being dominated by magic users. So they decided to rely on technology and science instead of magic and decided that magic is 'evil'. Lots of demi-gods abused their powers which gave magic a bad name.
So this is why magic and tech are separate from each other. So no magic tech.
I've been trying to brainstorm about technology and was wondering if you guys could help me. This is just so I have something to jump off of cause I'm drawing a blank for some reason. x-x
What major areas would technology influence a fantasy setting? Travel, communications....what else?
