I was just exploring down a path and walked through a gate with no guards, continued onward until my character just stopped and wouldn't go any further yet the cobblestone path clearly goes somewhere.

What gives?

That path leads to Hammerfell. You can't go there.

Thats the border to Cyrodil..

I'm use to fighting redguards there so my bad

Oh ok. (Skyrim is my first TES game) Maybe Beth can use it as an entry way to another DLC?

Whoops, thought he said Riften. That's what I get for skimming through posts...
