The Archmother
“
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.

— Old Gods, New Blood Update

The Archmother is a Patron, as well as the name of her Team. Her followers are The Guided Hand. [1] The Hidden King is her rival.

The Archmother's herald is voiced by Debra Wilson.[2]

Overview

[edit | edit source]

The Archmother wears a broken mask that resembles the head of the 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 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.[3][4]

Akin to the Hidden King, the Archmother's goals are unknown. According to The DoormanThe Doorman, the Archmother has wanted to be summoned for "centuries".[5] WardenWarden and his family believe the Patrons will "herald the end of humanity" if left unchecked.[6] It's implied that the Archmother wants to "usher in her new era".[7][8]

The Doorman refers to the Archmother as City Mother.[9] The bank behind Archmother's Yellow Walker is called "City Mother Bank".

The Hidden King's herald calls the Archmother a "tyrant".[10]
