Minor Continuity Issue Regarding the Emerald Chambers

[The Shifty Mongoose]

The original Runelords building a huge mausoleum for themselves and their successors makes sense.

Then it's mentioned that Xin was put to rest there, when that couldn't have happened; they sent Shasthaak to assassinate him, whereupon his Death Contingency teleported his corpse into his Clockwork Reliquary.

I admit I haven't finished reading Chapter 2, but it should be easy to just mention a monument there to the First King, and possibly one to Shasthaak.

Just chiming in, if a bit late. I don't see it saying he was put to rest there, just that it was made "in his honor"

His corpse isn't mentioned as being in the Crypt of Runes, just murals depicting it.

Correct. The Emerald Chambers is less of a place to put Xin's bones than it is a memorial in his honor that the runelords then turned into their own crypt. History is written by the winners, and the runelords had well over a thousand years to minimize Xin's footprint.
