"Oathbreaker" is the third episode of the sixth season of HBO's fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 53rd overall. It was written by series co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Daniel Sackheim, his directorial debut for the series.

At the Wall, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is found alive by Ser Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham) and Melisandre (Carice van Houten). Jon proceeds to execute his assassins for treason, and afterwards says his Watch has ended as he leaves Castle Black. At Winterfell, Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) is presented with the gift of Rickon Stark (Art Parkinson). Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright), accompanied by the Three-eyed Raven (Max von Sydow) witnesses the confrontation at the Tower of Joy, where his father attempts to rescue his sister, Lyanna, but Bran is ultimately prevented from entering the tower. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) arrives at Vaes Dothrak where her consequences for leaving the khalasar will be determined, and in Braavos, a blind Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) gives up her old life and sees anew as "no one".
