Default timescale confusion

Hi, need some help here guys, does anyone here know of the the timescale of gw, for example 1070 AE saw the searing, at what dates would the Factions and NF campaign been fought in, on the mouvellian calender, not the Canthan and Elonan calenders.
After playing the game over two years , i realised how little i knew of the back ground and lore of the game, so i thought i would educate myself, but i am having difficulty puting the timescale into perspective.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

It's funny how you have zero idea of GW's timeline even if you beat all four campaigns. Guess it's just how they tell their story, but you never know what's going on if you aren't doing it yourself.

The Mouvelian Calendar (aka Prophecies, aka "AE") works best. The Elonian Calendar is just 200 years ahead (or was it behind?), but it's still a bit confusing.

Canthan Calendar is just utter bull crap to me. Don't ever go by it.

It IS confusing though...I know by heart:

1070: Searing
1072: Prophecies + Factions
1075: Nightfall

I wasn't sure about GW:EN. According to the trailer, Gwen states "six years ago, my world burned" so I thought six years ago was the searing, as in 1070 so GW:EN is 1076. However, others say GW:EN is in 1078 meaning she references AFTER the searing.
