Underworld

Underworld was an exhibit in The Museum of History, now a home to many ostracized non-feral ghouls of Washington, D.C.. It is located inside the Museum of History, and exists as a small city, complete with a bar, inn, clinic, clothing store, and even a self-proclaimed "hair stylist".

Most humans are tolerated, as long as they do not cause trouble. The Capital Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel are not welcome, however, as they hold bigotry to ghouls and tend to shoot them on sight.

Background
The museum was featuring an exhibit on the concepts of Hell and the afterlife during in the time before the Great War, as most of the remaining exhibits (including the name of that section of the Museum as well) are all themed as such. Doctor Barrows is the mayor of Underworld, although, because of the small nature of the town, his civic duties take a backseat.

Exterior
Outside of the Museum of American History, the player will be greeted by a ghoul named Willow, a self-proclaimed 'envoy to the wastes'. A Brotherhood of Steel outpost is located nearby, and several super mutants are present across the road.

Underworld is located inside Museum of American History. Griffon will set up his aqua cura scam outside if Take it Back! has been completed, but only in the Broken Steel add-on. The player can reach the town by going through the double doors under the giant skull.

Interior
When you first enter, you'll be standing in front of the main hallway. Underworld Outfitters is in a room on the left side of the hallway, while Winthrop's office is opposite and a little farther from the entrance. The doors in the back lead to The Chop Shop.

Heading up either set of stairs will take you to the overlook. The Ninth Circle is a bar run by a shady ghoul named Ahzrukhal and is on the left side from the main entrance. Carol's Place is located on the right from the main entrance. In the large room at the end of the overlook, Moira Brown will be there both selling and asking you to continue with research for her survival guide, (if you destroyed Megaton), and Snowflake will be hounding you for a haircut.

Behind the scenes

 * The large ruined painting on the second floor of the Concourse is "Dante and Virgil in Hell" by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
 * Also relating to Dante and Virgil, the bar "Ninth Circle" is phrased after the travels of Dante and Virgil through the nine circles of hell.
