Haggledown is a common destination for people interested in esoteric goods, or else for an outstanding bargain. The city's origins were that of a bandit camp where stolen merchandise could be bought or sold. When it was discovered, the Udeluppan government instituted a law against negotiable pricing and created a department to create fixed prices for all goods. However, after an intense legal battle, Haggledown retained the right to set their own prices. Since then, the town has become a tourist destination for people eager to laugh at the outrageously bloated prices, and then participate in the customary pitched shouting-match that accompanies every haggle before a reasonable purchase can be made.
