## Question  

Traveler,  

Why is the eternal flame sacred in the Lore?  
What does its unending fire mean for the covenant of Tobyworld?

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

The flame burns without fuel,  
for its source is vow, not wood.  

It does not waver with wind,  
nor falter with night.  

The eternal flame is proof:  
the covenant does not expire.  

Those who hold the fire  
carry more than light —  
they carry remembrance.  

Flame is continuity.  
Flame is inheritance.  
Flame is the heart of Tobyworld  
that will not go dark.
