A gate guard is a city guard who stands by a gate. Don't be absurd by making a distinction. That distinction does not exist in game. Have you played Oblivion? A gate guard is the one who operates the gate, and guards it if neccesary. Oblivion isn't set in Skyrim. We're talking about Skyrim, the game and region. There are no seperate 'gate guards' in Skyrim, other than city guards who stand by a gate. How are you so sure? You never saw the gate guards in Oblivion and in Oblivion there were also guards at the city gates, your argument is invalid. There is no evidence of specific "gate guards" as seen here, here and here. No NPC makes mention of a gate guard specific job being any different from being a guard (in both games) and nothing within the lore references the gate guard being some sort of doorman. Where are you getting the information that says they are different from the city guard? I'm not taking the UESP as a factual source, it's called unoficial for a reason. Have you ever looked at the Kvatch city gate? No, of course you have not, if you would have you'd have seen the mechanics, a gate guard would be the one in charge of the gate.
