Produce a detailed written description of a foreboding scene outside town with a stairway and a muslin tent.

The stairway pauses more than midway up the wall at a small landing before continuing up to the battlements. Each step has a smooth valley worn into the top from ages of boot traffic. Since there is no railing that accompanies the stairway, the valleys are positioned closer to the safety of the wall. At the foot of the stair is a pale muslin tent.
