I would expect severe angst against magic of all kinds, even divine in nature. The survivors, whether they be locals or soldiers, probably do not favor their lands being destroyed in such a manner.

Also, perhaps more "adventurer" types being hired to try to do away with monsters and other baddies roaming. Or they hire them as guards to augment whatever official protection is being provided. You could run into the case then where these hired swords take advantage of the locals.
