<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Haggle is a brand of liquor sold in Eres Ffenegh, notable chiefly for being the cheapest drink available in that city - so cheap, in fact, that a wry local saying holds one should be paid to drink it rather than pay for the privilege - ch 10. It occupies the very bottom rung of the drinking hierarchy, a marker of poverty and of the rough waterfront world where it circulates. Despite its wretched reputation, it is a favoured drink among dock workers and waterfront labourers, who presumably choose it for its price rather than its quality - ch 10.<br />
<br />
Within the narrative of ''Pretenders to the Throne Of God'', Haggle functions as a small but precise detail of social geography: its mere name tells the reader something about the characters who drink it, the harbour district they inhabit, and the economic pressures that constrain their choices. No further information about its composition, its manufacturer, or its availability beyond Eres Ffenegh is recorded in the text, leaving the object itself essentially blank beyond its social and economic connotations.<br />
<br />
== The Object ==<br />
=== Description ===<br />
The text records no physical particulars - no bottle shape, colour, label, or serving vessel - beyond the fact that Haggle is a liquor sold in Eres Ffenegh and sits at the absolute floor of the price range for drink in that city - ch 10.<br />
<br />
=== What It Does ===<br />
Its function is straightforward: it is a drink, consumed for the purposes of intoxication or refreshment by those for whom it is the only affordable option. The text gives no indication of any special property, ritual use, or unusual effect. Its "usefulness" is purely economic - it is the liquor one buys when one can afford nothing else - ch 10.<br />
<br />
=== Provenance ===<br />
No maker, distiller, or point of sale is named. No information is given about whether Haggle is produced in Eres Ffenegh or imported, nor about how widely it is distributed beyond the harbour district. It appears in the text only as a consumable commodity on the bottom of the market - ch 10.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Pretenders to the Throne Of God ===<br />
Haggle is a cheap liquor, identified in Eres Ffenegh as the cheapest available, so poor in quality that "so poor you should be paid to drink it, not the other way round" - ch 10. Despite its reputation, it is a drink favoured by dock types - ch 10. No further details on its composition, origin, or broader distribution appear in this book's text.<br />
