{{Quotation|[https://www.playdeadlock.com/oldgods| Old Gods, New Blood Update]|Glass, steel and stone... Order and power where once there was none... The Archmother has always guided the founders' hands, and now it is time for them to welcome her home.|}}
'''The Archmother''' is a [[Patron]], as well as the name of her [[Teams|Team]]. Her followers are '''The Guided Hand'''. <ref>{{PageRef|name=Archmother}}'s in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Doorman start): ''"You honour the Guided Hand by standing with us today."''</ref> [[The Hidden King]] is her rival.


The Archmother's herald is voiced by [[wikipedia:Debra_Wilson|Debra Wilson]].<ref name="DebraWilsonVoice">2024-08-26 - [[Kaori (developer)|Kaori]]; [https://discord.com/channels/1231286446472691825 Deadlock Discord] - ''"[Sapphire Flame] is not Ellen [McLain], it's Debra Wilson"''</ref>
The Sapphire Flame has a feminine voice and is characterized by the color blue. Sapphire Flame's side of the [[map]] has white brick buildings and is labeled "Uptown".

The Sapphire Flame is voiced by actress [[wikipedia:Debra_Wilson|Debra Wilson]].<ref>2024-08-26 - [[Kaori]]; Deadlock Discord - ''"[Sapphire Flame] is not Ellen [McLain], it's Debra Wilson"''</ref>
The Archmother wears a broken mask that resembles the head of the [[wikipedia:Statue_of_Liberty|Statue of Liberty]], her form bound to a crystalline effigy burning with blue flames. She's characterized by the color blue. Her base is a museum with a [[wikipedia:Neoclassicism|Neoclassic]] aesthetic. Her side of the [[map]] has upper-class white brick buildings and is labeled "Uptown".


The Archmother does not speak to the [[heroes]] directly. Instead, a herald speaks on her behalf.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Archmother}}'s in-game [[Viscous/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Viscous start): ''"Everyone looks at you and discounts your value, but not me, and not the Archmother. Complete the ritual, and let her help you."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Archmother}}'s in-game [[Drifter/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (ally Drifter killstreak): ''"Archmother... accept the gift that the Drifter has laid before us!"''</ref>
== Voice lines ==
 
Akin to the Hidden King, the Archmother's goals are unknown. According to {{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}, the Archmother has wanted to be summoned for "centuries".<ref>{{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}'s in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Hotel Guest Taunt - Generic|voice line]] (Hotel Guest taunt): ''"The Patrons have waited centuries to be summoned, they can wait a little longer."''</ref> {{PageRef|name=Warden}} and his family believe the Patrons will "herald the end of humanity" if left unchecked.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Warden}}'s in-game [[Warden/Quotes#Select|voice line]] (select): ''"The Patrons will herald the end of humanity if we let them."''</ref> It's implied that the Archmother wants to "usher in her new era".<ref>{{PageRef|name=Archmother}}'s in-game [[Graves/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (ally Graves killstreak): ''"Graves will usher us into the Archmother's new era!"''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Archmother}}'s in-game [[Celeste/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Celeste start): ''"Summon the Archmother, and usher in a new world with you by her side!"''</ref>
 
The Doorman refers to the Archmother as '''City Mother'''.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=The Doorman|file=Doorman ping pre game 03.mp3|context=(pre-game ping)|transcription=How exciting to see City Mother and the Amber King once more!}}</ref> The bank behind Archmother's Yellow [[Walker]] is called "City Mother Bank".
 
The Hidden King's herald calls the Archmother a "tyrant".<ref>{{PageRef|name=Hidden King}}'s in-game [[Venator/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Venator start): ''"Venator, I know you have no love for the Hidden King, but the Archmother is a tyrant! And together, we can usurp her!"''</ref>
