'Hearthstone' is a center of technology and a magical marvel due to its very strategic location. Many wars have been fought around the city. As a result, many different types have interacted with the city before it became an autonomous City-State free from outside influence. To the best of its ability of course. 'Managed' Democracy prevails as most people move to get away from their modern problems and start life anew, or just look for something different.
Magic and Technology are often combined to make use in either modern-day or wartime applications, depending on which is better. The military has made use of what they like to call 'Mechanized Infantry' which are more like miniaturized suits of armor made for war. Something equivalent to what some might call a Jager. Powered by magic and using modern technology to fight against foes. Of course, still being supplemented by magical artillery or modern combined arms warfare, should it be seen necessary to deploy these units in the first place.
