Rarapesh Dragon Flight, based out of northwestern Korrinth, is perhaps among the most troubled surviving dragon flights in history. Due to habitation by the Marcon Alliance, the flight spent several millennia enslaved, and were forced to produce dredbroods for the Marcon war machine. Many members of the flight became fallen, and while they could not join the Marcons as equals, some rose to prominence even as slaves.

During Eieber's Long March, the Rarapesh were driven off their ancestral homelands, and forced to eek out a living on the remote but uninhabited Animal Island. Rumors persist of the Rarapesh horde being buried here, however the reality is that much of Rarapesh's wealth was looted by the Marcons. The Marcons are known, though not through what method, to have had a way to separate a dragon from his gold.

In the Golden Age, Rarapesh was able to reclaim a small portion of it's homeland after many centuries away. The government of Korrinth refused to recognize the dragon's claim on the land, and allowed them clear title only to the mountain containing their eerie, and only if they paid appropriate taxes. Rarapesh's numbers, already severely reduced due to their exile, shrank even further. With only around a hundred to their name, new broods were forced to seek mates outside the flight. This led to them leaving altogether as often as not, and the flight routinely had to beg incoming mates to bring fresh stores of gold.
