Speaking of magic. Magic is manipulating the supernatural chaotic forces that destroyed the modern world to begin with. Most societies shun magic users because they spread the influence of the supernatural chaos even further. The societies that do not shun magic regard it with religious reverence, and regard anyone who uses it to be an authority figure.
settlements near the Manhattan Metropolitan area are mostly agrarian city states that worship magic. They are governed by the strongest magic user of their people who rules over them as a God King. These people's are very primitive technologically, the place they live in is so imbued with Chaotic energy that complex mechanisms such as clocks and motorized vehicles cannot function, Chemical reactions such as gasoline explosions and metallurgy are very inconsistent and volatile. The most advance technology they use in warfare or huge overbuilt bronze cannons to blast down city walls, otherwise they use bronze age infantry tactics with iron age cavalry.
