Maybe your trying to sneak back home? Hadvar does say to a Nord -

"You picked a bad time to come home to Skyrim, kinsman. I'm sorry. At least you'll die here, in your homeland."

The wiki page does point out the Dragonborns homeland is presumably Skyrim, possibly other, so doesn't defiantly say it is Skyrim. All the games have a default character that the character creator starts with and is shown in things like artwork and trailers though. Its likely that the default hero is the one Bethesda uses as the canon Last Dragonborn.
