Shattered Kingdoms

I was able to go into Teron from above, even though I was not flying and my mount was left behind

The entrance to Teron
pvvrvv/-- You have arrived at the entrance to Teron. The solid

The Crossroads of Pyrathia
Several dirty roads convene here, many ending abruptly at the edge of the
oddly-shaped City Square. The area seems to be paved with a single,
enormous slab of red granite, accented with strips of white. While the
surface is far better-maintained than its immediate surroundings, it is
still littered here and there with bits of wood, discarded trash, and other
debris. Mordeth Road cuts a gravelly line across the square from west to
east. There is a particularly obnoxious-looking street sign standing to one
side of it, just north of the square's exact center.
It's mostly clear, warm, and there is absolutely no wind.

A brown-haired female human is standing a few paces away.

This is sort of unrelated, maybe? My store bought pet had flight from a second PC and decides to land in the first round of combat for no apparent reason.

The landing change was implemented in this update:
Code Update 03/25/2013

If you want your mount to fly from an external caster, they need to be part of your group. Otherwise the mount will consider it to be undesirable, since the flight spell has some serious negative effects on combat.
