An enormous cave carved out of a mountain, which is home to the annual Cave Eight Race, as well as an auction house.
The Cave Eight Race is an eight-hour endurance test, where Vanship pilots are first given a random, broken down vanship that they must fix before the race begins. Then they fly for eight hours until midnight, circling a subterranean race course several times. The team that crosses the finish line first after midnight, or makes it the furthest before breaking down (assuming that no one actually finishes in such an event) is the winner. The time is kept by a gigantic hourglass that is turned over at the beginning of the race. Vanship used in this race - Horizon Cave Eight Race Vanship.
The auction house is a secret area of the cave's upper facilities, where black market auctions are made. It is here that Alexander Row receives the first Mysteria.
Later on in the series, the horizon cave is used as a training ground for special Vanship forces preparing to fight against the Guild. It is also here that Claus Valca meets Ralf Wednesday's older brother and informs him of Ralph's death.
