Which is comprised of the souls of countless valiant warriors and ministers, and keeps a powerful demon lord entrapped within it's burning embrace. This flame is a physical thing in the world that people can go and worship at, which also bestows power on people.Now if we are going to meet all your needs here, namely having a central nexus, various hubs, and even miniature artifacts to carry around, we are going to have to look somewhere else to fill that in. As it just so happens, I was reading a Green Lantern comic book today, and it would flesh out the bill perfectly. Green Lanterns have their rings give them superpowers. The Rings need to be recharged via batteries that look like lanterns every day. There is the Central Battery on the Green Lantern homeworld which is basically limitless power, and each member posseses and hides a smaller personal battery that they can use to store more power so that they can spend extended periods of time away from their main planet.Bringing this all together with some polish: You have a magic eternal flame that people need to pray at daily for power. The major churches across the land would have a protected bonfire. Smaller churches and shrines would have a brazier. Individual people would have candles (lasting anywhere from a day to a week), while important people would get a lantern (lasts up to a month). Periodically, the flames from everywhere other than the eternal flame would have to be relit. Permanent fixtures in churches and shrines would accomplish this via a ritual not unlike the Olympic Torch carrying ceremony, while individual people would only have to go to the nearest shrine or church.</blockquote>
