==Overview==
It exists between the material universe and the warp, part of both but not fully within either. They are noted by the Eldar to being different from the warp and from any other place. Amongst their stories, it is said by the Eldar that travellers mwwr meet their past or even their future selves within these tunnels. The more enigmatic [[Harlequin]]s say that there are remote locations within the Webway where the flow of time seemingly goes in reverse or does not flow at all.<sup>3</sup> Within the Webway are countless gates or portals leading to many areas across the galaxy. Each Eldar [[craftworld]] is connected through the Webway system. Reaching a certain destination through the Webway makes a guide or map necessary.
The Webway is a fairly safe method of travel compared to warp travel, as it does not involve traveling through the completely unpredictable and hostile warp dimension. There is still danger, however: the Webway consists of countless paths and tunnels in which it is profoundly easy to become lost in, and also vast impassable areas taken over by [[Chaos]]. Many portals of the Webway lead to hostile areas of the galaxy, such as former Eldar worlds in the [[Eye of Terror]] now turned into [[Daemon world|Daemon worlds]]. There are also many portals defended by the Eldar and guarded with runes of protection against Chaos and the invasion of [[Daemons]].<sup>1</sup>
