At one point an hour in the Source meant a year in the First, that could vary and there could have been more moving parts to the calamity, but if the Calamity just needed Ardbert to complete his quest, Loghrif and Mitron may have completed their work within a decade or two. With time dilation, it's possible that may not have even taken a full day on the source. Given there are five years between the seventh calamity and the start of ARR, it's possible that's anywhere from days, to years, to decades, to centuries on the First.
I'm strongly going off memory, but
Ardbert completing his quest was *not* supposed to trigger the Rejoining. It was supposed to set things up for it. I'm trying to track down the info, but I'm honestly unsure when exactly it came up. If I can find it one way or another, I'll be sure to post it.

I don't expect there to actually be more Ascians showing up at this point, not really. I'd love to learn more about the mechanics of a proper Rejoining from the Shard side, but I imagine we're really not going to get that without an Ascian showing up, even if it's just for a loredump.
