Bonfires in Dark Souls 3 are safe points within Locations where players can rest, repair equipment, recover Estus, and travel to other lit bonfires. From a Bonfire you select the following menu options:
Travel
Attune Spell
Organize Storage Box
Burn Undead Bone Shard
Begin journey x
Undead Match
Leave
The 'Begin journey x' option only becomes available once an Ending has been reached. The value of 'x' is based on the current New Game Cycle +1.
Undead Match is a Multiplayer feature that becomes available once the Champion's Bones are burned in the Bonfire, similar to an Undead Bone Shard. Upon burning, the Hollow Arena becomes available for use, enabling organised PvP matches between other players.
The Bonfire in Firelink Shrine can be upgraded using Undead Bone Shards, thus increasing its level and the amount of health regained per Estus Flask drink. You can additionally reinforce the Flask by giving an Estus Shard to Blacksmith Andre to increase the amount of drinks available. Once ten Bone Shards have been burned (all ten can be acquired in a single New Game Cycle), selecting the option will only give the message 'Cannot kindle further'. However, Bone Shards picked up in further New Game Cycles can be burned if the Bonfire is not already level 11.
In addition to Bonfires, there are three healing stations along the journey called Estus Soup where you can drink from a cauldron to restore your HP and FP gauges.
Regarding Multiplayer, you may occasionally see small Embers to the right of a Location name. This indicates the presence of a Host of Embers. The location tabs in the travel menu also highlight themselves with a faint glow around the edge if there is any Hosts of Embers there also.

I'm not 100% sure but leveling up the bonfire increases a little the damage and hp of the mobs.

Stupid-ass question: if you use WSS to set a co-op marker, it doesn't go away if you rest at a bonfire, but can you still be summoned or does the bonfire dialogue break it?

The Grand Archives bonfire location is the worst in Souls. It was proven that even if you had toxic, without 90% of your health gone, you could still edgewalk over to that bonfire, alive. I mean, I get it, boss=bonfire, new area=bonfire, but why didn't they take a page out of the Catacombs and put the bonfire a little later? It does make a good wallpaper though, sitting near one bonfire, with the other one in the background.

Added links to the locations that have pages and fixed the headers. If anyone sees anything that doesn't link properly, feel free to fix it.

Why do you use Bonfires as the teleportation marks around the map? I don't want my child playing this game and thinking sitting around Bonfires is okay.. Because we all know bonfires lead to marijuana. Why couldn't you have used something more family friendly, like a board game? I'm tired of you guys over at FROMSOFT pushing drugs on my children!Sincerely, concerned parents everywhere
