How chronology works
Event chronology and reading order are different. The map shows time and context; Webway helps you choose what to read next.
One work, several episodes
A work may include flashbacks, a later epilogue and parallel storylines. Within any open storyline, each work appears on one card; its episodes and dates are listed under “Dates, story episodes and sources”. The work may also appear in another storyline or era while retaining a single reading status.
What a position means
We distinguish exact dates, ranges and relative ordering. Where no calendar date is established, a work’s position serves only as navigation. A convenient screen position is not a confirmed year, and publication dates are not in-universe dates. The recurring Warhammer 40,000 epigraph, for example, has no single story date: its variants introduce the setting as a whole.
Evidence and uncertainty
Cards show references, dating evidence, narrative layers and research notes. A source must support the particular claim. Black Library pages help verify publications and collection contents; Warhammer Community articles provide official announcements. Lexicanum is a secondary reference, and KyleBB’s reading chart is a secondary editorial reading sequence, not canonical event dates. A shop listing alone does not establish when a story takes place. “Well supported”, “Some uncertainty” and “Needs verification” describe the evidence, not numerical probabilities. A research-review marker does not certify every detail as correct.
Conflicts and connections
Conflicting sources and alternative versions are retained with qualifications. Sharing a character or world creates a connection, not a mandatory prerequisite. An ordering of individual episodes does not necessarily order two complete books. Spoiler details are disclosed separately.
Suggest a correction
Open the relevant work, event or connection and submit feedback. When possible, include the edition, chapter or page, a source link and the exact claim to change. We do not claim that every work already has an exact date or complete supporting evidence.
