The Pact of the Isle of Faces is a treaty that ended the War of the First Men and the Children of the Forest. It was entered into by the Greenseers and wood dancers of the Children of the Forest and the chiefs and heroes of the First Men on a small island in middle of the large lake, known as Gods Eye, in the Riverlands. The First Men agreed to not put any more weirwood to the axe. The First Men were given the coastland, high plains, bright meadows, mountains, and bogs. The Children of the Forest retained the deep woods forever. So that the gods could bear witness to the Pact every tree on the island was given a face. The order of Green Men was formed to look over the Isle of Faces.

The signing of the Pact marked the end of the Age of Dawn and the beginning of the Age of Heroes. It began four thousand years of friendship between men and the children.
