Sapphire Strand is a town in the western Kindlewastes, now held by Scavengers. It is the home of Sapphire, a cinnamon-coloured cat with sapphire-blue eyes and a talent for trouble. A Scavenger's note complains that the cat stole roasted meat and ran off towards Sapphire Strand. The town is also where a member of the Conway family first heard of a forgotten Flame Shrine hidden in the mountains to the south-east. That shrine is the Flame Shrine of Manathor.

Sapphire Strand lies west of the Kindlewastes Ancient Spire. An Elixir Well lies to the west of the town, and a Gem Forge stands to the south. Ridgeback Mine and its Shroud Root are to the south-east. A Flame Shrine stands north of the town.

Scavengers hold the town and its tall buildings. Several chests sit on rooftops and balconies, so clearing the nearby Scavengers first makes the climbing safer.

One silver chest hangs on the outside of the northern wall of the large building and needs a Lockpick. Another silver chest sits on top of and inside the building with the small, slim tower.

Lore Pages
"Can It Be True?" lies on the top balcony of the large building. It is the first page of Hidden Flame Shrine. The writer's grandmother, Hama, told bedtime stories of an ancient shrine full of sacred scrolls, books and offerings. The writer dreams of finding it and charging one coin per prayer, calling it "the Conway spirit".
