Greg read out of his Lunar Book draft, telling the earlier myths of Western Peloria. Believe it or not, but these had humans in them before Yelm began to rule...

Check the end of the Complete History of Dragon Pass, especially Inkarne's reign, and compare Greg's closing timeline. With Inkarne as Argrath's wife, you'll get several events of the later Hero Wars for the Shadow Empire.

If Harrek's sojourns into "Jonatela" refer to Karstall and Timms, he could just manage to be moonboated into the Lunar Empire, take part in a couple of Dart Competitions and return to Rathorela by 1609. In that case, no timeline problem I can think of.
