The Green Men[1] or green men[2][3] is a sacred order entrusted with the guardianship of the Isle of Faces in the Riverlands.

History

After many years of war between the First Men and the children of the forest, their respective wise men came to the conclusion that the bloodshed had gone on too long. They came together to make peace on the Isle of Faces in the Gods Eye, agreeing to the Pact which would give the First Men all the land except for the deep forests, which would remain under the dominion of the children of the forest. The First Men agreed they would cut down no more trees. So that the gods could bear witness to the historic agreement, all the trees on the island would have a face carved into it and the order of the Green Men would be created to guard them.[3]

During the Dance of the Dragons, Addam Velaryon was said to have flown his dragon, Seasmoke, to the Isle of Faces and taken counsel with the Green Men.[1]
