Online:Border Crossings

A map of border crossings between zones, including those through Blackreach and Player Houses

Border Crossings, or Transition Points, are locations where it is possible to cross between Zones on foot. Most of these crossings are unmarked places, in which case descriptive names not found in the game are used here.

Aldmeri Dominion

Baandari Gate

The gate as seen from Malabal Tor

The gate as seen from Reaper's March

This gate connects Baandari Trading Post in Malabal Tor with the Northern Woods region of northwestern Reaper's March. When you pass through into Reaper's March, the Vinedusk Wayshrine will be marked on your map if you have not yet discovered it. Crossing the other way if you have not yet visited Malabal Tor will unlock Velyn Harbor Wayshrine.

Elsweyr Gate

The blocked gate in Grahtwood

The gate as seen from Northern Elsweyr

This gate, in the northern part of Green Hall in Grahtwood, connects to Valenwood Gate in Northern Elsweyr. A burned Khajiiti villa can be seen past the rocks behind it. The tunnel to Reaper's March is located right next to the gate, and both of them are behind a larger wooden gate with Khajiiti banners, statues, and posts, as well as a dead Bosmer woman on top. Various tents surround the area, along with a capsized trading cart nearby. Passing through into Northern Elsweyr will unlock the Riverhold wayshrine, while crossing the other way will unlock the Haven Wayshrine if you have not yet visited Grahtwood.

During early alpha development, a map showed that the Tenmar Forest, rather than Reaper's March, was planned to have been a playable zone, and this gate would have connected to it.

Grahtwood Tunnel

The tunnel as seen from Reaper's March

This tunnel connects the northern part of Green Hall in Grahtwood with the southeastern part of Jodewood in Reaper's March.

Reaper's March Eastern Gate

The locked gate in eastern Dawnmead

Located north of Dune and just southeast of Fort Sphinxmoth, in the east of the Dawnmead region of Reaper's March, this gate is inoperable. While the intended destination of this gate is unknown, its positioning would suggest it is the reverse side of the Western Elsweyr Gate of Cyrodiil.

Cyrodiil Bridges

In southeast Cyrodiil, there are a number bridges crossing over rivers. Passing over the Corbolo River, a large drawbridge and a barricaded bridge named Crestbridge can be found leading into the Nibenay Basin. Over the Larsius River, there is a bridge connected to Bravil that leads to a large inaccessible gate, which may be connected to Nibenay Valley. Oddly, the door for it is a Dunmer architecture asset.

Cyrodiil Gate Garrison

The Gate Garrison

The Cyrodiil Gate Garrison in southeastern Craglorn is ostensibly a Daggerfall Covenant entry point into Cyrodiil. However, the gate cannot be opened by players of any alliance, since Cyrodiil must be entered using the Alliance War interface. Geographically, it appears to link indirectly to the Northern High Rock Gate, and a cart to the Falkreath Hold dungeon can also be found nearby.
