==Overview==
Webway Gates are found on both Eldar Craftworlds and throughout worlds of the galaxy. When not in use, the Gates are dormant and are hidden to the lesser races.{{Fn|2}} These portals are near unbreakable, being wrought in psychoplastic pseudo-bone by long dead artisans and often sealed from within.{{Fn|6a}}
Among the greatest of these belongs to [[Alurmen]], whose Nexus was unmatched by the other Craftworlds. Through its Nexus, the inhabitants of Alurmen could send explorers and traders with an ease that was second only to the [[Old Ones]]. Its Nexus of Webway Gates allowed it to be connected to other Craftworlds, [[Exodite]] colonies, [[Maiden Worlds]], and other ancient Eldar sites making it Craftworld Alurmen's greatest strength as well as treasure.{{Fn|1a}}
Their efforts saw them and a [[Chaos]] fleet being entrapped within a Warp barrier around the [[Shroud Nebula]] thus preventing anyone from gaining access to the Webway Nexus.{{Fn|1c}}
Some amongst the [[Dark Mechanicum]] have unlocked the secrets of webway craft. [[Kolumbari-Enas]], leader of the [[Disciples of Nul]], has used his knowledge of these Aeldari gateways to aid the forces of Chaos as he sees fit.{{Fn|7a}} He is even able to utilise damaged gates that were violently removed from their plinths and crudely propped up elsewhere, such as aboard a [[voidship]].{{Fn|7b}} ==Known Notable Webway Gates==*[[Forbidden Portal]] - Located in The [[Screaming Vortex]]{{Fn|66b}}*[[Pontus Avernes]] - [[Dark Age of Technology]] webway nexus.{{Fn|7a}} Location of a gate seemingly created by ancient [[Humanity]].{{Fn|7c}}
