The New York Region
After the devastating battle of New York the once beautiful beacon of a city was left little more then smouldering rubble. Very few of the original buildings remained and what few citizens stayed behind suffered from starvation, and crime. It was only through the valiant, and combined efforts of Marc Spector, Norman Osbourne, Reed Richards, Wilson Fisk, Carmine Falcone, Tobias Whale, Tony Stark, Lex Luthor, Bruce Wayne, Oliver Queen, Simon Stagg, Maxwell Lord, Anthony Zucco and Ra's Al Ghul that the reconstruction of New York was even possible. Yet through disagreements and in fighting in the end the cities reconstruction took two completely different routes becoming two brand new cities. Those cities were Gotham, and Metropolis

Gotham
The Dark City was founded on the ashes of what was once Staten island. It was built up by some of the greatest architectural minds the world has ever known with a unique architectural style that began to spread across the rest of the globe. It's design was heavily influenced by the movers and shakers who helped to rebuild it, slanting the entire purpose of the city towards dense industrial production.

Ever since reconstruction began it has been connected directly to the occult, as much as it is with crime, the cities design causing it to function as a sort of conduit for the mystical. Countless people, tourists and citizenry alike have gone missing over the years their whereabouts completely unknown.

The town was built with industry in mind, so many industrialists having gathered together to make the reconstruction effort possible. The involvement of several more criminal elements of new york didn't help matters either. The smog from these countless factories that has spread to every sector of the city is what has truly earned it the well deserved title of the Dark City.

Metropolis
The city of Tomorrow was built with one purpose: To show the world what could be done with the absolute bleeding edge in advanced technology. Every facet of this world renowned center of commerce has been built with that philosophy in mind. Some of the absolute brightest minds in all of the world live in metropolis carrying out their daily routine, causing it to welcome all kinds of people looking for a new start.
