Stone Calendar

The Stone Calendar was an artifact created by a collaboration between Mairsil and the artificer Barl during the Dark Age. It was used as an extremely accurate timepiece to show when the paths to the Dark Lands were strongest.<c>Stone Calendar</c>
==Description==
The calendar was too wide to put on a shelf and just tall enough to make putting it on a workbench unfeasible, so it stood directly on the floor of Mairsil's luxurious study. It had an elaborate set of clockwork cogs, with gears made not of metals but of minerals and stone. The largest wheels were slate and marble, the smaller ones were made of quartz and mica, and the smallest and most vital pieces were carved from rubies and sapphires. One small rune-covered plate near the heart of the construct had been fashioned of rare and perfect obsianus, and others were made of platinum, rustbane, and watersilver. One cog made from jade, had been carved by one of Barl's apprentices. This cog was slightly inaccurately carved, causing the calendar to run fast. For this, Mairsil ordered the gear replaced by one of nephrite, and for two of the apprentice's fingers to be broken.Jeff Grubb, The Gathering Dark (1999), Wizards of the Coast
Jodah would have a dream of the stone calendar during his stay in Tresserhorn, and use this as an analogy of Shandalar's movement through the Shard of the Twelve Worlds. When he shared this analogy with Lim-Dûl-Mairsil, he recognized the reference.Jeff Grubb (2000) The Eternal Ice, Wizards of the Coast
