Was wondering why not able to join with a familiar summoned but not following you. My raven was asleep in the croc swamp where I leave it for people to get out and other RP thing. Not even with me and wouldn't let me join it. Possible bug? or intentional?

The Merelew driver says, "I'm leaving shortly, returning to Acenemacra, near Leth Deriel. If you would like to accompany me for a safe trip there, just join me." The Merelew driver smiles.

This is intended. There are some issues with traveling with companions/familiars/etc that we wanted to avoid. May be able to work towards relaxing it some day, but for now it's the safest way to handle them.
