abstract	Quivira is situated in a valley in an area known as La Selva de las Serpientes ('The Serpent Jungle'). In the centre of the valley is the above-ground portion of the city, which includes a vast temple complex with the Pyramid of Omatihicoya at the centre. The surrounding architecture includes aqueducts, temples, plazas and numerous other buildings, many decorated with the image of a serpent. From the top of the Pyramid of Omatihicoya can be seen the Temple of the Serpents, perched on a ridge overlooking the valley. This Temple contains the only known access point to the underground portion of the city, referred to by Marisa Chase as a representation of Mitzican (the Quiviran underworld). The caves descend deep into the mountain through vast caverns filled with carved monoliths and ancient wooden walkways before reaching a sealed stone door - the Doorway of the Gods. The door can only be opened using the Amulet of Eternity as a key, and grants access to the lower caverns. The lower caverns have been sealed for centuries, and contain the last surviving tortured corpses of the Quivirans. The way forward is immediately barred by the Lake of Ghosts, said to be formed from the tears of the goddess Chihopotex. Built into the walls of the lake is the rest of the city. On the other side of the lake is another door which allows entry to the sacred enclosure surrounding the Golden Abyss, with the Throne of Gold at its centre.
