Hey all!

I want to present an appeal for the Isle of Faces to be exempted from the No-Redo Rule per Clause 1(b) - Inadequate Canon where a “build under consideration objectively lacks important canon, which directly impacts the planning or style of the build.

According to canon, at the end of the Dawn Age a sacred order was created, the Order of the Green Men, that had the mission of protecting the Isle of Faces and its weirwoods. Although being thousands of years old, canon demonstrates clearly that the order of the Green Men still exists and lives there. Though, the current version of the isle in our server doesn’t have any sign of human presence, nor that it ever had any human presence. As such, for the isle to properly fit into its canon description, it’s necessary that the presence of the Green Men be added.

Some canon quotes that demonstrate the Green Men presence are:
All the weirwoods of the isle on which the Pact was forged were then carved with faces so that the gods could witness the Pact, and the order of green men was made afterward to tend to the weirwoods and protect the isle.
[...]
“Whether the green men still survive on their isle is not clear although there is the occasional account of some foolhardy young riverlord taking a boat to the isle and catching sight of them before winds rise up or a flock of ravens drives him away.
“Some few children may have fled to the Neck, where there was safety amidst the bogs and crannogs, but if they did, no trace of them remains. It is possible that a few survived on the Isle of Faces, as some have written, under the protection of the green men, whom the Andals never succeeded in destroying. But again, no definitive proof has ever been found.”
Singers say Ser Addam [Velaryon] had flown from King’s Landing to the Gods Eye, where he landed on the sacred Isle of Faces and took counsel with the Green Men. The scholar must confine himself to known fact, and what we know is that Ser Addam flew far and fast, descending on castles great and small whose lords were loyal to the queen, to piece together an army.”
‘No one visits the Isle of Faces,’ objected Bran. ‘That's where the green men live.’
‘It was the green men he meant to find.’

[...]
‘Did he meet the green men?’
‘Yes,’
said Meera, ‘but that's another story, and not for me to tell. My prince asked for knights.’
Thanks for reading!
