Tull is a town located between Princetown and Mohaine Desert.
Description[]
The town consists of a boarded up grocery, a livery, a tailor, a church, a barber, and a dry goods emporium, and a bar. In the 2003 revised version of The Gunslinger, it is revealed that Tull contains a train yard (presumably for abandoned trains).
The Gunslinger[]
Roland comes to Tull in The Gunslinger in search of the Man in Black. When Roland first arrives in Tull he does not receive a friendly welcome. He goes into the local bar, Sheb's, and meets Alice. Alice eventually persuades him into sex. While in Tull, Roland goes to the local church and meets Sylvia Pittston, the local preacher. Roland goes to Sylvia's home one day and learns she is carrying a child given to her by the Man in Black. Roland uses his guns to kill the unborn child, provoking Sylvia's wrath unto the town.
The entire town of Tull meets its demise when Sylvia Pittston convinces the town to kill Roland, who decided to make a very unpleasant attitude: Roland maimed everyone in a genocide as a lone wolf army. He was very sorrowful of his actions, but then he thought it was needed because he had to go to the Dark Tower, so he couldn't die in Tull.
Naming Inspiration[]
In Song of Susannah, Stephen King reveals he named Tull after the band Jethro Tull.
