Payiv is a minor character in Horizon Forbidden West. He was a Carja Guard stationed at Barren Light and guarded the gate to No Man's Land with his fellow guard Mavas in the leadup to the Embassy where Fashav was to be handed over by the Tenakth back to the Carja. He was also a guard at the previous Embassy, where he met the Tenakth for the first time. His superior, Lawan, teased him about how nervous he had been about the Tenakth.
