After watching "Mad Max - Fury Road"
I kind of want to go on a tangent and model the WoK after Immortan Joe and the Warboys.
Tech Level B then makes sense, in that that Tech level is strictly controlledby the top lieutenants under the Warlord. The average rabble is dumbed down and the secrets of making or maintaining garb in babble and superstition.
The cult of personality makes more sense, i.e. "why doesn't some else kill Krell and take over"... because his minions love him more than they fear him. Krell makes them feel valuable, and a part of something colossal, epic, and monumental.
So I think I will be writing in some pseudo religious dogma and swipe some Ragnarok / Valhalla and some Bushido mixed with a three tier brotherhood thing. Drugs, rituals, totems, clans...... Job..... give them purpose. Fail your purpose and die by your Brothers hand lore.
Make up some machine cult that offers incense and burnt tar as offerings to the prophets Tesla and Ford..... Some such thing.
