The Khiva is a cave located near an Indian reservation in the Arizona desert. The cave has a forbidding presence and is used for tribal ceremonies and meetings.  

The Khiva is described as dimly lit with a single candle illuminating the tribal chief. The cave is decorated with ancient carvings that have been chiseled over centuries. These carvings depict various creatures connected by spirals.  

The Khiva is a place of mystery and power, where tribal leaders gather to discuss important matters and perform sacred ceremonies. It is also a place of danger, as evidenced by the raid that occurs there.
