Ix The Undying is a Sci-Fi short story anthology set in the shared dystopian setting of the mobile city of Ix. Home to a few million people, nobody knows where it came from or how they got there - that all happened in the distant past. Nobody knows. The cityship trundles through the Outside, a nightmare apocalypse of sentient weather, moving terrain, mutants and traitorous raiders. The immortal Imperatrix is both Goddess, Ruler, Central Distributed Intelligence and Mother to the city. Everyone serves the bueroreligious orders that control life. As long as the city moves, it survives.
