I would imagine that wizards are pretty good at recording historical
events, which makes it not too hard to figure out the dates. If anyone
has it wrong, its more likely to be the Heortlings, and I've never seen
any evidence of that. Besides, having two calendrical systems counting
forward from the same date, but arriving at different answers strikes me
as a recipe for confusion in published sourcebooks, regardless of how
plausible it might be in the actual world.
