![]() Roland would not have "known" how to further proceed on his quest to the Dark Tower and, without any significant remaining opposition, the Crimson King would have eventually destroyed the entire multiverse (including the Keystone Earth) by finally toppling the Dark Tower and unleashing Discordia. It is also implied in The Dark Tower series that Gan uses the real world's Stephen King as a facilitator (shown in The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah) to tell the tale of the Gunslinger, so Roland Deschain could successfully go about his task of reaching the Dark Tower had the author died before completing his task, all universes would have ceased to exist (as there would be no story created). Within the King's fictional cosmology, it is implied that Gan not only created the various universes where the author's novels take place, but also the real world, referred in the books as the " Keystone Earth", where the real Stephen King writes his books and real world readers read them. Gan rose from the Prim (inferred to as the darkness behind everything) and created the universes and infinite alternate universes that the Dark Tower (a building that serves as a microcosm of all of the multiple realities of the Dark Tower series) holds in place. In the cosmology of Stephen King's multiverse, Gan is that which the High Speech term "The White" refers to. He is described as speaking "through the voices of the can-calah, who men call angels," and as "denying the Crimson King and denying Discordia itself." The being is first mentioned by name in the Stephen King novel The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah, the sixth installment in The Dark Tower series. Gan's role in the novels is very much in line with the concept of God. Gan is the creative overforce in the cosmology of Stephen King's fictional multiverse.
