Lore Timeline?

I'm actually having a private little crisis about this RIGHT NOW.

Solus zos Galvus died in 1 Seventh Astral Era. (Born 1489, lived 88 years, died 5 years after 1572)
The Doman rebellion took place during the War of Succession.
As of Stormblood, NPCs repeatedly say Doma fell exactly 25 years past. (1552)
As of Stormblood, NPCs repeatedly say Ala Mhigo fell exactly 20 years past. (1557)
As of Stormblood, NPCs repeatedly say the Doman rebellion was 1 year ago.

...wat?

My 4.0 notes are still in disarray but ... wat?

Am I wrong about something here?

It's not unreasonable that the rebellion was a year ago. Now is as good a time as any to declare that the year is 2, 7A.

You can still have a war of succession before said ruler dies... Especially if said ruler is unsure as who is strong enough to take the throne. Unfortunately he died before he could truly name a successor and voila the war continued.
