Our Illustrious Winner?...
No that example is referring to going from under the overhang to on top of it. It is saying you have to go out from under then go on top. In other words, you cannot teleport through the floor. Previous rulebooks (RotV 2nd Edition Page 16, SotM page 14) showed that you had to move Raelin out from under the overhang in the special powers section rather than the movement section. They didn’t have the “… cannot pass through…” part at the beginning, they just showed that you have to go out from under in the example.
Can Kyrie (or other species native to Valhalla) be "summoned"?
I'm not steeped in the lore, so not sure if a Kyrie can be "rescued" from certain death, like characters from other planets.
The upcoming "Kyrie Warrior Army Expansion" says the following in a promotion:

I'm tempted to make a battlefield with a cave at one end (cut-away on the backside for player access) and the only way into the cave is a tiny gap one space wide and one tile (level) high; then watch Xenithrax fly through the gap into the cave.

Ah okay the pass through the bottom of them literally means the figure cannot go through the tile that creates the overhang. That makes sense. Thank you.

Are figures without fly allowed to move through terrain? Maybe I am missing a rule but terrain that is not an obstacle does not specifically state that a figure can not move through its space. The moving up rule states that if you want to move up to a higher level you must count the sides of each higher level as one space as well as the space you land on. But what if a figure does not want to move up to a higher level and instead wants to move to the same level space through a higher level space? In the example below what rule prevents my rat from teleporting through the wall of terrain?

Can a figure without fly pass through the bottom of overhangs? The flying and overhangs rule says figures can ascend overhangs while flying, but can not pass through the bottom of them. I could only find the "cannot pass through the bottom of them rule" in the age of annihilation rulebook. Does that mean in the older editions it was possible but not now? Is there a rule that prevents figures from moving through non-obstacle terrain? In the example below can the rat climb through the overhang?

This is merely a joke.
No, figures cannot move through a terrain stack. The simple reason is that the destination space is two spaces away, and movement is space-by-space.
No, figures cannot move through the bottom of an overhang. They cannot even fly through the bottom of an overhang. This perhaps has not been explicitly mentioned in the rules before but it has always been the community understanding.

Thank you. This is my understanding as well I was just wondering if there was a rule that specifically prohibits it.
Agreed. No going through terrain using normal movement. It would require a teleporting (digging, tunneling, etc) type of special ability. And no flying through terrain (or obstacles), either. However...
Flying (or Leaping) movement abilities say nothing about being able to fit through gaps in mid-flight. A flying figure only needs to fit on the landing space. The need to (or desire to) fly through a gap can occur for many reasons.
So, by the book, no matter how small the opening, and no matter how big the flyer; any flyer can fit through any opening (gap). Plus, any other figure (friend or enemy) is no obstacle, in any way, to the flyer (or leaper), until the flyer lands.

New to the scene and just wanting to clarify a question me and some friends have, does pivoting a SINGLE tile unit count as a move? Example; Fia comes up behind breeches, breeches next turn he doesn’t get his assault bonus but does he count as moving one to turn around and attack?

Pivoting is not moving, moving requires the figure to physically be placed on a new tile.
Additionally, Breech's ability requires he isn't adjacent to the figure at the start of the turn. Regardless of which way he is facing, if Fia was on a space adjacent to his, then he is adjacent to her.
No problem. Adjusting a figure in its space without moving it does not count as a 'move'. But, you can only do this with your own figures on your turn. You cannot adjust your figures on your opponent's turn, nor are you ever allowed to adjust opponents' figures.
Although, sometimes it is done, but only if all players agree to the adjustment before doing so.

Does dorim the bulkhead brawler reroll EVERY allied one non skull or just his?

Just one of his own.
Not sure that Summoned would be the right word as they already exist on Valhalla and within the same era of time as Heroscape is taking place, but for what it's worth, Revna DOES 'summon' Misaerx and Kilkorax back from the dead to join her forces.

I interpret that as meaning they were summoned in the non-magical sense, ie recruited/commanded to do battle.
