If memory serves, Omega and Midgardsormr's battles rendered the dragons' homeworld uninhabitable, forcing Midgardsormr to flee into space with the last seven eggs, and Omega followed. It was so far that it was effectively a one-way trip. Neither could make a return trip even if they had anything to return to. Middy made a deal with Hydaelyn so that the dragons could repopulate on the Source, but Omega is still trying to get enough power to go home.

Now I'm wondering; would anyone who traveled to Hydaelyn across the void of space land on the Source by default? Could they possibly land on one of the surviving Shards instead without crossing the Rift?
