Could they have happened before the Soulburst ?

According to the "Chronicles of the Five Companions" volume 1 the Soulburst happened in late 2e578.
in "Season of the Dragon" and "Dark Heart of Skyrim" we meet some of the Companions freely moving around Tamriel. Could these storylines happened before the Soulburst ? Let's say 2e575 ? The same could be said for all the other DLCs and Chapters as we do not see Dolmens (Abyssal Geysers don't count).

The infamous arcane explosion in the Imperial City that happened in the Spring of 2e579 — a night of storms, and trembling terrain — as related by the Chorrol Crier, mentioned by Chancellor Abnur Tharn in his "Eulogy for Emperor Varen" and explained by Lyris of Skyrim in the first volume of her "Chronicles of the Five Companions", and others, I am sure. The “Soulburst” happened at the same time as a big piece of Aetherius fell to Nirn. Coincidence? It was the first major piece of Aetherius to fall in five hundred years.
Then I met the Prophet on 4 Rain's Hand 2e582.

✭✭✭✭✭Not according to Companion dialogue, no.
Also, Lyris working for Jorunn happened afterward. Chronolgy here: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/579430 -

Sadly, this is why starting players in the latest chapter is the totally wrong way to do things. I get why ZOS and Bethesda are doing it this way, but it leaves a nasty knot in the sequence of events, as experienced by the player.
Now, you get to meet Lyris and form a working relationship with her before she is even sent to Coldharbour. If you start the game in Western Skyrim, it has to be before the Soulburst. She is one of the Five Companions that quested for, found, and used the Red Diamond so that Varen Aquilarios can become Emperor. When that fails, she is captured. You are the one that will rescue Lyris from Coldharbour. At the time of the Icereach problems, Varen Aquilarios should still be flitting around the Imperial City plotting ways to gain the favor of Akatosh. It is before the Three Banners War. It is before the Ebonheart Pact. It is before Lyris was someone who Jorunn would have sent to Western Skyrim.
So, yes, it has to be before 2E577, but it also has to be after the Soulburst in 2E582.
ZOS should have let Lyris sit this one out. This is why you don't bring "beloved" characters back from the dead.
