Andale

Andale is a location in the southern area of the Capital Wasteland. It is located north-west of the Nuka-Cola Plant, south of Fairfax Ruins and south-east of Fort Independence.

Background
Andale is touted by its residents as "the greatest town in Virginia." However, the town holds a very dark secret. Four families survived the nuclear war and remained in Andale, but eventually took to cannibalism after their food supplies ran out. Since then, the murder and consumption of outsiders, along with inbreeding between the Andale families, have become a tradition passed down from generation to generation. Willy Wilson says that the Home Owners Association does not let random people move into the town.

Layout
Andale is located directly south of the Fairfax ruins and west of the Nuka-Cola plant. The town is comprised of two two-story, pre-War houses, one ranch style home, and a shack. They are all located on a street amidst the ruins of other homes and a Red Rocket gas stop.

Areas of interest
A very interesting miniquest is tied to this location. Once you've arrived at Andale, explore two houses, occupied by the Smiths and the Wilsons. You can talk to the owners of the houses if you want to. After that, locate the house owned by Harris. The old man will advise you to leave Andale immediately, because of the strange occurrances in the area. If you want to find out what the secret of both families is, check the Smith's basement or the Wilson's garden shed. You can break into each room with your lockpicking skill or you can use a key. The easiest way to obtain the key is to explore bedrooms of each of two houses, however you can also acquire a key from Megaton – Moriarty’s saloon. You would have to gain access to a small supply room. The most dangerous way is to steal one from the members of both families.
