 The note is intended as a trap; Alice eventually falls prey to it and says the word, triggering a town-wide frenzy against Roland in which he kills the entire population.Nort is last seen hanging above Sheb's bar, spread-eagled and crucified with wooden pegs, with a large and purple cloven hoof on his forehead.It is unclear who committed this crime, but it is likely the work of either Sylvia Pittston—who had referenced the cloven hoof in her sermon—or one of her followers, over whom she had a high degree of control.
