Antechamber of the Ten
Dimensions
Hello, Rulers!
Today we're introducing Antechamber of the Ten
Dimensions, a mini-set of Force of Will. This set showcases what's happening in
various dimensions of Force of Will (dimensions are the worlds where stories
take place. They're also what Gill Lapis, our favorite villain, covets and
collects).
While the main story of Force of Will follows the
adventures of Nero and the rest of the students in Yomidgard, the rest of the
Force of Will characters are also active, living their own adventures,
off-screen! And that's what we're going to show you. Of course, everything
we're going to show takes place in the current timeline.
Additionally, since we're showing a card from each
dimension of Force of Will, we're also introducing a keyword ability
from that dimension (with corresponding explanatory rules text). These
keyword abilities are themed to each of Force of Will's dimensions, and they
may reappear in the future if the Force of Will story takes us to those
dimensions. The cards you're about to see feature names of FOW characters we
haven't heard about yet, and even Rulers who don't even exist yet.
So, yes! This is a sneak peek at what we might expect
in the future in FOW!
Ten of the cards in the ATD mini-set were designed
specifically for Paradox and have the "DRC Video" set
code, along with a special frame to commemorate the start of the Evil
Cluster. Therefore, they're part of Descent into the Raven's Catacombs.
The other fifteen cards in the set were designed specifically for Wanderer
and have the ATD set code, so they're only legal in Wanderer and Arcana
Battle Colosseum.
Finally, the 25 cards in this mini-collection will be
available for the first time as a WGP2025 participation prize and in random
booster packs in the WGP 2025 store. If you're not attending WGP2025, don't
worry: they'll also replace the E2 Memory Collection and will appear at reduced
rarity in MP03 booster packs. However, only the WGP 2025 versions will be Foil
and FA, a reward to all players qualified for the event.
And WGP 2025, both the main event and the side event,
will be their debut, as all 25 cards have been legal since the release of Descent
into the Raven's Catacombs, which was August 28th.
Let's now look at the cards designed specifically for Paradox.
Let's now look at the cards designed specifically for Wanderer.
Sandora is the dimension created by the High God
Thoth. It is a desert-like place, with extremely high temperatures and icy
nights. In this dimension, the deities, who have physical form, fight for
sovereignty over the city-states and, recently, for control of the Golden Ankh,
a magical object of great power that could tip the balance in any direction.
Sandora's keyword ability is [Ibka].
1191. [Ibka]

cards. It changes how the card is played.
· 1191.2. "[Ibka] (Cost)" means "You may play this card from your graveyard paying its [Ibka] cost.".
Asgard is the dimension created by the High God Odin.
It is a technologically advanced place, even though they live in Viking-like
buildings. It is also the birthplace of the greatest warriors and the most
powerful Valkyries. It is the only defensive bastion that exists between the
living beings of all dimensions and Ragnarok, the lord of all dragons, who,
although defeated, will bring about the end of all dimensions when he returns
in an uncertain future.
The keyword ability of Asgard is [Call of Valhalla].
1187. [Call
of Valhalla]
·
1187.1. [Call of Valhalla] is a continuous ability
held by cards.

Asakna is the dimension created by High Genshi Tenson.
It is a dimension dominated by dragons and, to a lesser extent, dragonborn:
dragons who, upon death, are reincarnated as humans, retaining all their magic
and previous power, but in a much smaller body. There, the dragon clans are at
odds with each other, trying to crown a new king.

Tithe]

Yomidgard is the dimension created by the High God
Satan… or, depending which moment in time we are, by Goddess Velmar. It's where
the current story of the Evil Cluster takes place. This dimension is divided
into two continents separated by the Sea of Blood, a sea with a poisonous fog
that prevents passage from one continent to the other. It's the continent of
Axbryn where the story of Nero and his friends takes place, but who knows what
events or stories are happening or have happened in the past on the other
continent, Kathora, where the most important city is called, no less, Amadeus.
The keyword ability of Yomidgard, one that has yet to
appear in the Evil Cluster, is [Anathema].
1197. [Anathema]
·
1197.1. [Anathema] is a continuous ability held by
cards, either granting the card new abilities or modifying the effect text of
that card.

control cards in your graveyard with four different card types, this card is
played with the following text.”.
·
1197.3. If granting abilities to a card,
"[Anathema] – (Text)" means "This card has the following text in
all zones as long as you control cards in your graveyard with four different
card types.".
·
1197.4. If the condition for [Anathema] is not
fulfilled, the text after [Anathema] is considered to be non-existant.".
Millennia is the dimension created by the High Goddess
Kaguya, built on a moon, where spatial expansion has begun. Although the throne
of Millennia has been empty for ages, it has always been protected by the royal
family (including Princess Yakami). Recently, rumors have been heard of
the arrival of a new king. But not all of Millennia's inhabitants want this
usurper to ascend to the throne, so some will fight against the Monkey King's
monarchical rise.
The keyword ability of Millennia is [Moontide].
1189. [Moontide]
·
1189.1. [Moontide] is an activate ability held by
cards. A card can have multiple instances of this ability.
·
1189.2. What "[Moontide]" means is
different depending on where the card is.

"[Moontide] (Cost)" on a card in the chase area means "Pay
(Cost): If this spell is not a copy, copy it. Play only one [Moontide] ability
per turn and only if this card is in the chase area.".
· 1189.2b. "[Moontide] (Cost)" on a card in the field means "Pay (Cost): If this card is not a token, copy it, except that the copy has «Mythic». Play only one [Moontide] ability per turn.".
Utgard is the dimension created by the High Goddess
Loki. She is the only one of the ten High Gods who still resides in her own
dimension. It is a frozen dimension, lacking favorable conditions for life,
unless it is a life form adapted to the cold. Even so, its people, including
Asgardians who did not want to live in Odin's dimension, live comfortably,
although a new era is beginning, threatening to overthrow everything that has
remained unchanged until now due to Asgardian tradition, as its people have grown
tired of living in fear and uncertainty, not knowing when Ragnarok will return.
The keyword ability of Utgard is [Graverberate].
1192. [Graverberate]
·
1192.1. [Graverberate] is an automatic ability held
by cards.
· 1192.2. "[Graverberate]" means "When you play this card >>> Copy it X times, where X is the number of cards that were put from all non-removed area areas into all graveyards this turn.".
Seiz is the dimension created by the High Goddess
Athenia. It is an inhospitable place, whose rotating life cycle alternates
between creation and destruction. Every so often, the dimension becomes very
fertile, and life thrives. But every so often, the dimension becomes barren,
and virtually everything in it dies. The most dangerous thing is that if the
spirit of a Seiz resident is not exorcised upon death, it becomes a shadow,
haunting, stalking, and murdering the deceased's loved ones.
The keyword ability of Seiz is [Necrobloom].
1190. [Necrobloom]
·
1190.1. [Necrobloom] is an automatic ability held
by cards.
· 1190.2. "[Necrobloom]" means "Whenever you banish a magic stone >>> If you haven't played any spell with [Necrobloom] this turn, play this card from your graveyard without paying its cost.".
Olympia is the dimension created by the High God Zeus.
It is a peaceful place, protected by Zeus's own divine magic. However, his
absence has caused the protective spells he left throughout the dimension to
gradually crumble. Now, with the people of Olympia in danger, only Zeus's
descendants can protect this entire dimension from their father's devastating
magic.
The keyword ability of Olympia is [Pantheon].
1193. [Pantheon]
·
1193.1. [Pantheon] is an automatic ability held by
cards.
· 1193.2. "[Pantheon]" means "At the end of your turn >>> This card deals X00 damage to target player, where X is the number of Deity cards plus the number of New Twelve Olympian Gods cards you control in public zones.".
Shalkai is the dimension created by the High Goddess
Shiva. It is a forested, Jurassic dimension where dinosaurs roam freely, as the
dominant species. But the inhabitants of Shalkai are not afraid of them: the
Mimi tribe has become the best dinosaur hunters in existence, and they travel
throughout Shalkai, helping settlements resist and protecting the weak from
such powerful creatures.
The keyword ability of Shalkai is [Primal Roar].
1194. [Primal
Roar]
·
1194.1. [Primal Roar] is a continuous ability held
by cards.
· 1194.2. "[Primal Roar] (Number)" means "Dinosaur J/resonators you control gain [+{(Number) multiplied by 100}/0].".
Sky Round 2.0 is the dimension created by the High God
Deus Ex Machina. The original version of Sky Round was a fully mechanized
dimension and the birthplace of technological progress. But the ambition of its
creator knows no bounds, and he created a new metal-based life form: the Gears.
Soon, the Gears expanded throughout the dimension, forcing the Deus Ex Machina
to abandon it. The Gears even expanded to other dimensions, such as Cocoon. Sky
Round 2.0 is the Deus Ex Machina's new attempt to create a mechanized
dimension, but an envoy of the Gears, Zwei, has initiated the gearsification of
all its people, starting with the king. Now, those who resist the Gears live in
isolation, led by Merlin, while hiding from the king and his gearsified knights
of the round table.
The keyword ability of Sky Round 2.0 is [Kernlos].
1195. [Kernlos]
·
1195.1. [Kernlos] is a continuous ability held by
cards. It changes how the card is played.
· 1195.2. "[Kernlos]" means "This card has no attribute. You may pay the attribute cost of this spell with void will.".
Protopaterpolis is the dimension where the events of
the Grimm Cluster, the Lapis Cluster, the Reiya Cluster, part of the Saga
Cluster, and the Trinity Cluster took place. A war recently took place in this
dimension, where Queen Hachisuka Sansta and her allies emerged victorious,
becoming the first to defeat the Interdimensional Conqueror, Gill Lapis, in a
long time. But something was not right, though no one knows what. Ten oaths
were sworn during that war, and now that the queen has assigned her scribes to
transcribe the events of the war, no one has been able to discover who sworn or
what were the contents of two of the ten oaths.
Protopaterpolis, being a dimension we recently visited, has no new keyword ability.
Aeterna is a dimension of magic and swords, where time
passes much more slowly than normal. In Aeterna, it's normal not to age, or to
age very slowly. It's a dimension almost entirely covered by seas and oceans,
where pirates, mermaids, and raiders roam everywhere. All suffer the wrath of a
very young tyrant who enjoys the favor of the fairy queen. Fortunately, they
have the pirate hero Hook to defend them.
The keyword ability of Aeterna is [Raid].
1196. [Raid]
·
1196.1. [Raid] is a continuous ability held by
cards. It changes how the card is played.
· 1196.2. "[Raid] (Cost)" means "You may play this card paying its [Raid] cost. If you do, it gains [Swiftness] and "At end of turn >>> Return this card to its owner's hand." as it enters the field until end of game.".
Cocoon is the dimension where the events of the Hero
Cluster took place. This place was protected by King Aristella and his
companions before the arrival of the Conqueror, Gill Lapis. After King
Aristella's defeat and disappearance, presumed dead, the people of Cocoon began
to worship musical divas, an inheritance from Vier, one of Cocoon's enemies.
And, with the rise in popularity of these musical divas, a new king conquered
Cocoon: money.
Cocoon, being a dimension we recently visited, has no new keyword ability.
Attoractia is the dimension where the events of the
Alice Cluster and the Alice Origins Cluster took place. Lemuria, however, is
another dimension, home to the Letoliel elven royal family. These elves are
explorers, with the ability to open portals to any dimension they wish.
However, after the events in Attoractia, they decided to close that portal and
many others, abandoning the people of those dimensions to their fate, as the
Letoliel did not want to face the Interdimensional Conqueror, Gill Lapis.
Attoractia and Lemuria are isolated from the rest of the dimensions, so they do not have a new keyword ability.
R'lyeh is the dimension of chaos, the Outer World,
where the Cthulhu, primordial gods, and formless creatures dwell. It is a
terrifying place that is virtually impossible to reach. Only those with a
connection to R'lyeh can find access to that dimension, and it is never certain
that once you enter, you will be able to return, or that you will return as the
same person.
There is virtually no information about R'lyeh, as no
one is known to have gone there and returned alive, except for the royal family
member Princess Lumia, who went there with a frenemy to settle a debt.
Therefore, R'lyeh has no new keyword ability.
-------------------------------------------
That's all for today! In the future, we may or may not
revisit these dimensions, depending on how FOW's story directs our characters.
What we do know is that this isn't the last time we'll see these dimensions,
and that there are many others waiting to be discovered. For now, enjoy Antechamber
of the Ten Dimensions. See you next time!
