This appears in several online timeline:
-3595 : War breaks out between the elven nations of Eaerlann, Mieyritar, and Illefarn. The humans, caught in the middle, are unable to trade with one for fear of retribution from the others.
Did someone know the source ?

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say it comes from the old "Netheril Timeline" hand-out from GEN-CON, many, many moons ago. That handout was like a "value add" from TSR for all those who attended the FR seminar. They did the same thing when "Lands of Intrigue" was released. The Netheril Timeline was never incorporated into any further canon timelines and was ignored when Steven Schend went about his masterful timeline in "Cormanthyr".

So,the next one is from the same source ?
-3354: War between the two remaining elven nations comes to an end. The 240 year war decimates their numbers thrice over. |

Maybe. I've never actually seen the GEN-CON Netheril timeline, but know of a few references regarding dates within it that have floated around the internet (there is one about the dwarves of Delzoun fighting balor demons). Of course, the timeline you are referring to might simply be someone's Arcane Age homebrew.

Well I found this time line: http://www.nj-pbem.com/data/General/Timeline1.htm
Which certainly is not canon. As the quote:
-3843
The drow city of Ched Nasad is founded.
clearly predates the Mieyritar and Illefarn still existing -3595. There were no Drow when those two nations existed. Thus I am force to conclude it is indeed a howmbrew time line. The reason it might be found others sites is it clearly appears it a pbem (as is indicated in part by the URL given above.). |

The "nj" is a giveaway too - that is likely to relate to the Northern Journey Project.
