A "City of Evil" is part of many dark fantasy settings... Carcosa being the first one that comes to mind, and Babylon the original evil city. You can find more inspiration here. For this post, however, I found inspiration elsewhere...
1. It is built of gold.
2. The queen sits naked on the throne.
3. It's a dwelling place for demons and unclean spirits.
4. It deals in jewels, myrrh and fine linen.
5. Its wine is often poisoned.
6. It attracts merchants and sailors from the whole world.
7. It is home to a beast with ten horns and seven heads.
8. Anyone can become a king.
9. The radical leaders are blinded in chains.
10. People become beasts to avoid the pain of being human.
11. The land around is barren, no oasis in sight.12. This land is called "bat country" for a reason.
13. Soulless men stand silent on the streets.
14. A prophet sheds light on the lost.
15. People get stabbed in the dark.
16. Everyone is eager to throw the first stone.
17. Poisonous fumes and venomous come out at night.
18. A killer prowls the street searching for vengeance.
19. When the stars align, war will break.
20. The city will be burned to the ground, destroyed in an hour.
