[[Image:Realm of Chaos.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The Realm of Chaos]]
The '''Warp''' is a psychic dimension parallel to [[RealspaceReal Space|real space]]. It is known by many names: '''Warpspace''', the '''Immaterium''', the '''Empyrean''', the '''Ether''', the '''Sea of Souls''', and also as the '''Realm of Chaos'''.
Warpspace is a dimension of random energy known as [[Chaos]]. It is the domain of the [[Gods of Chaos]]. The Warp is without form and with its own fluid laws of time and space. Its energies are in constant turmoil, subject to endless disturbances.
==The Formless Wastes==
The Formless Wastes refer to the rest of the Warp uncontrolled by one of the Chaos Gods. Other powers such as Greater [[Daemon]]s and [[Daemon Prince]]s who have become capable of forcing a small influence over their surroundings sometimes create their abodes here. The Wastes are also the home to [[Fury|Furies]], grotesque gargoyles forbidden from entering the Chaos GodGods's realms. They roam the Wastes searching for new helpless souls of mortals not yet absorbed by the Warp.<sup>2a</sup>
==Warp travel==
The Warp, though utterly hostile to creatures of the material realm, is home to its own form of life. These are often voracious entities which are drawn to the psychic emanations of mortals of real space - these creatures include the [[Vampyre]], [[Psychneuein]], [[Astral Spectre]], [[Astral Hound]], [[Enslaver]] and most terrifying and numerous of all, the [[daemon|Daemons of Chaos]].
Ships traveling travelling in the Warp are shielded against attacks from these creatures. Without these [[Warp drive#Gellar Field|shields]] travelers travellers through the Warp would be consumed by daemons.
The Warp is also the realm of the four [[Gods of Chaos]]: [[Khorne]], [[Slaanesh]], [[Tzeentch]], and [[Nurgle]]. Though the Warp and the Chaos Gods are formed of the same energy and are practically synonymous, each god has a form that embodies their personalities and dwells at the heart of their realms.<sup>2b</sup>
