Seward Square

Seward Square is an area of downtown Washington, D.C.. It is where the Reilly's Rangers compound is located.

Layout
Seward Square can be reached through the Metro, though it can also be reached through a sewer system from Pennsylvania Ave. It can be reached most easily through Anacostia Crossing station. It can also be accessed through The Capitol building from The Mall. A battle between Talon Company mercs and super mutants will be taking place on the Capitol building's steps, with exploding cars in the crossfire. To the east near the subway station (near Reilly's Rangers) is also the location of a scripted Enclave Vertibird drop-off with a sentry bot.

Points of interest

 * The Capitol building in the west, near the Seward Sq. Northwest map marker. This entrance to the capitol building is also the fastest way to reach the Presidential metro train to return to Adams Air Force Base, all you have to do is enter through the Seward Square Capitol Building entrance and go through the door to the right and the train is right there (Presidential metro and Adams Air Force Base only available with Broken Steel add-on, and the shortcut is only available after you've completed Who Dares Wins.).
 * An office building near the Penn. Ave/Seward Sq. Metro.
 * A sky bridge east of the Capitol building (and accessible via the office building) houses a switch which will call in artillery to be fired across the square. This provides a way to take out some of the warring Talon Company mercenaries and super mutants. A sniper guards the switch.
 * If you have the Broken Steel add-on installed, a small sandbag fort with additional Talon Company mercs will appear in Seward Square Northwest, East side against a building, across the battlefield where super mutants and Talon Company fight it out outside the Capitol building back (East) entrance. A few loot items such as cherry bombs, 2 ammunition cases, 2 first aid boxes, suitcase etc., and a new holotape log titled "Talon Company merc log #1" on a shelf next to a first aid box. The log talks about Talon Company developments after the purifier was activated. There is also a chance that an Enclave vertibird will fly over the battlefield, dropping several Mini-Nukes and killing most of the mercs and mutants.

Behind the scenes
Seward Square Park is a real-life location in the Washington, DC area. It is named after William Seward, Secretary of State under Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. The purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867 was ill thought of during his lifetime, and known as "Seward's Folly" for this and his part in it.
