Glenn Cook's Black Company series for a look at magical war.
Steven Pressfield's "Gates of Fire." Historical fiction of the battle of Thermopylae that may serve to give insight into the training of the town militia in Alkoth and the ritual surrounding the start of battle. I understand his "Tides of War" is also good.
Alan Moore's "Promethea" comic series for a look into the spirit world.
Most any Robert Anton Wilson fiction, to gain an appreciation for the idea of "a multitude of conspiracies contending in the night." Something every game needs!
