* Arcana and Sharona are Earth, and Earth canonically exists in the same multiverse as Bahzell and friends, as Wencit accidentally summons a pair of US Marines and their LAV-25 instead of a gryphon in the novella ''Sword Brother.'' Granted, that story would have to be from a later point in multiversal history, given that Hell's Gate is taking place in the equivalent of the 1920s/30s on the Gregorian calendar.

* Steampunk. Yes, Sharona has steam power but it has realistic steam power. The third civilization would have actual workable Steampunk tech. So steam powered mecha or powered armor, lightning guns, zeppelins, artificial limbs etc. [[spoiler: The multiverse seems to have a certain amount of ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve where natural laws function differently based on who occupies a particular universe and what they believe. Given that it's not impossible for there to be a universe where Steampunk makes sense as the basis for technology.]]

** 1930's tech would be a good fit as well - heck, depending upon which country (or countries) they decide to use as model, they could even make early WWII tech work, story wise.

* Maybe a mix. Weapons tech somewhere around late WW1 (so combustion engines and early planes and tanks) but with other aspects of the technology somewhat further advanced (maybe even computers). That would put them on a similar military footing to the other two but give them a logistics edge to help counter their total lack of talents or magic.

* ...Us. I mean, we're pure tech, no magic or psychics. Why not Earth of the 1920s? Sure, there wouldn't be MUCH difference between Sharonans and Earthlings, but we've got a bit of head start. Internal combustion was well on its way, we had tanks and airplanes and zeppelins. We have radio and telegraph. What could be more fun?

**Plus, they make a point of mentioning a volcanic eruption that can be assumed to be Krakatoa that happened 30 years ago or whatever in every world. So it'd be early 20th century, not 21st.

* How about a civilization with World War II era tech? Would have enough advantages to pose a serious military challenge to both existing nations while not being too overpowering. If they have nukes, make them plane dropped or give them very crude ballistic missiles like the V-2.

** 21st century Earth is unlikely, if only because they'd run ripshod over both sides. Dragons vs F22 will not end well for the dragons, and the sheer, hilarious degree of aerial superiority that modern earth would have over both sides, coupled with armor, missile artillery, IFV and infantry weaponry, and drones, means that both sides will get plastered in short order. Even World War II Earth would have a massive tech advantage over both sides to the point of total domination.

* Uh, 21st century Earth sounds pretty likely. Granted, we got nukes and outpace both civilizations in terms of logistics but two other civilizations may have secret equivalents or develop them rapidly. Alternatively, they might join forces if Earth outpaces them too highly.
