| The Urn is a civil servant of the [[Municipal Coven|New York Municipal Coven]]. Its job is to keep New York clean by capturing rogue spirits, which should then be released in another location. | | The Urn is sentient and says its job is to keep New York clean by capturing rogue spirits, which should then be released in another location. |
| | |
| The Urn takes pride in its work and believes it's underappreciated. It nags heroes to be delivered quickly and grows impatient over time.
| |
| | |
| A member of the [[Paradox Organisation]] has attempted (and failed) to steal the Urn before, to which the Municipal Coven "did not take kindly".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Voice lines#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Paradox stalling)|transcription=Just so you are aware, one of your fellows tried abducting me once, and the Municipal Coven did not take kindly to it! So please be prompt in my delivery.}}</ref>

| The Soul Urn knows {{HeroIcon|Billy}}, implying that Billy has worked for the Municipal Coven before.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Quotes#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Billy stalling)|transcription=So. William. I see you’ve really gotten your life together since we last talked.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Quotes#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Billy stalling)|transcription=So are you going to actually see this job through, or are you going to quit like you always do?}}</ref> The Urn refers to Billy as "William" and doesn't want to be associated with him.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Quotes#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Billy stalling)|transcription=William, can you please just drop me off and I can pretend I never saw you.}}</ref>

| The Urn asks to be introduced to [[Nashala Dion|Nashala]] by {{HeroIcon|Mirage}}.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Voice lines#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Mirage stalling)|transcription=Well? Are you going to introduce me to your lovely friend or not?}}</ref>

|
| The Urn has a cousin that works at Columbia University as an administrative shredder.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Voice lines#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Dynamo stalling)|transcription=My cousin is stationed at Columbia as an administrative shredder! Perhaps you've worked together?}}</ref> It also knew a sentient censer, though they lost touch after the censer took their vows.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Voice lines#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Haze stalling)|transcription=I used to know a censer with smoke like that. We lost touch after they took their vows, unfortunately.}}</ref> | | The Urn nags heroes to be delivered quickly and believes its work is underappreciated. |
| | |
| The Urn says its usual craftsman is on vacation.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Voice lines#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Infernus stalling)|transcription=Try not to singe my decor. My usual craftsman is on vacation and their apprentice tends to overuse filigree.}}</ref>

| | |
| The Urn admires several heroes. Those that showcase grace and diligence during delivery are favored by the Urn--notable examples being {{HeroIcon|The Doorman}}, {{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}}, and {{HeroIcon|Celeste}}.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Voice lines#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Doorman stalling)|transcription=You, sir, are more than a gentleman–you are a treasure. And I am honored to be in your care.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Voice lines#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Lady Geist stalling)|transcription=Oh, how I do enjoy a bearer with class and grace.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Voice lines#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Celeste stalling)|transcription=My dear, you are moving with purpose and grace, and I appreciate your deft hand.}}</ref> This also extends to heroism, as the Urn is a fan of {{HeroIcon|Ivy}} and considers her "dazzling".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Soul Urn|quotes=Soul Urn/Voice lines#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(Ivy stalling)|transcription=Ivy, whether flesh or stone, you are dazzling!}}</ref>

| | |
| The Urn is also a bit of a fashion mogul. It points out several heroes' sense of fashion and style:
| |
| | |
| * {{HeroIcon|Bebop}}, for his "exquisite craftsmanship".
| |
| * {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}}, for his stunning jacket.
| |
| * {{HeroIcon|Infernus}}, for being dapper and having a "well-brimmed lid".
| |
| * {{HeroIcon|Mina}}, for her contributions to Fashion Week, considering her work to be the future of fashion.
| |
| * {{HeroIcon|Shiv}}, and his amazingly well-kept pompadour.
| |
| * {{HeroIcon|Victor}}, for his crafted body and fascinating tattoos.
| |
| * {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}}, and her lack of shoes.

| * If {{HeroIcon|The Doorman}} uses {{AbilityIcon|Hotel Guest}} on the urn courier and the courier then drops the urn (e.g. {{HeroIcon|Viscous}} uses {{AbilityIcon|Goo Ball}}), the urn will reappear in a room next to the [[Archmother]]'s Blue [[Walker]]. | | * Unused [[Hero Labs]] Hero {{HeroIcon|Trapper}} builds Soul Urns for the New York Municipal Coven.<ref>{{BackgroundCite|name=Trapper|quote=An employee of the New York Municipal Coven; Trapper spends his days building Spirit Urns, luring giant rats, and capturing various invasive species from The Outer Planes.}}</ref> |

| * The [[Update:May 22, 2026|May 22, 2026]] update reworked the Soul Urn to grant Bullet and Spirit Resist in a radius to the team with a soul deficit at the moment of its spawn. This was reverted on [[Update:May 28, 2026|May 28, 2026]], presumably in response to a strategy demonstrated at the unofficial [https://liquipedia.net/deadlock/Deadlock_Night_Shift Deadlock Night Shift] tournament the day before that involved an entire team purchasing {{ItemIcon|Golden Goose Egg|l1=Golden Goose Eggs}}, intentionally giving the enemy team souls to force the urn to spawn in a favored state, and then hatching the Eggs to maintain resistances provided by the Urn despite no longer lagging behind in souls.<ref>{{YouTubeCite|video=vIq9GDAKJO4|title=Floormen vs Melee Creeps {{!}} Deadlock Night Shift #40 NA (Finals Match)}}</ref><ref>{{YouTubeCite|video=cnBcQWEaTAY|title=The Most Broken Esports Strategy I've Ever Witnessed.}}</ref>

This was later reverted and separated into its own objective on [[Update:June 30, 2026|June 30, 2026]] as the {{PageRef|Unstable Rift|}}. | | * In the [[Update:June 4, 2026|June 4, 2026]] update, the Soul Urn was reworked to start a King-of-the-Hill capture point mechanic when delivered.
