As for Faenor, I recall Saulotus having a fondness for the Quenya names of the Noldorin Princes.

I havn't looked at it yet m. but I hope to peek at it later.

But Aiwendil is certainly correct re: the flat-Earth/ Round-Earth aspects. Saulotus' entire Silm work was Round-Earth.

I imagine that a bit of tweaking on the Valinorean dates is all that will be needed for the pre-Noldorin revolt dates.

But when you get to the Awakening of Men, there is as far as I can tell a feirce tangle.
