Webway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Webway in the Warhammer 40,000 universe is an extra-dimensional space utilized by the Eldar for faster-than-light travel.
The Webway is a fairly safe method of travel, being free of the Daemon infestations that plague normal alternate-dimension faster-than-light travel in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. There is still danger, however: the Webway consists of paths and tunnels that are profoundly easy to get lost in. Maps and guides are necessary.
Much of the Webway was destroyed or uncharted after the Fall of the Eldar. Combined with the fact that the technology used to build it was lost, intact Webway gates are some of the Eldar's most treasured artifacts. They range in size from personal gates for foot travel to massive ones that entire Craftworlds use. Because of the gates' rarity and importance, the Eldar will stop at nothing to either claim them or deny their use to the enemy.
The infamous Black Library, the home to all the surviving knowledge of the Eldar race, is reachable only through the webway, via a path so secretive and well-guarded that Ahriman of the Thousand Sons was unable to penetrate it.
