Oath of the Night's Watch:
Quote:
|
"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."

Which part does he break? He banged that redhead because he was spying, right? Didn't Mormont or whatever send him on that mission or did I completely confuse things? I'd say he is absolutely keeping his oath to recruit wildlings - his job is to guard the realms of men and he's doing that by getting their help against the white walkers. IDK, though, I just kind of enjoy each episode without necessarily remembering how everything ties together. But I am unclear on what component of his oath you think he broke.
