Item:Simple diamondwood calendar box with diacan gears

simple diamondwood calendar box with diacan gears
Look:	The pale wood with its clear, prismatic veins contrasts starkly with the inky black gears and their watery iridescence when light plays across them. Not all faces are covered with the gears, however -- one depicts a simple glass-covered panel that protects tumbling dates beneath it, another is a visual depiction of the current month, and yet another has dials that can be turned.

A simple notation explains the dual date listings:
"The number preceding the / is the current day of the
month (1-40), whereas the number following denotes the
current day of the year (0-399)."

The above is an example, and will vary over time. The current date will be highlighted.

• TURN: You toy with the dials on the calendar, rotating the Month dial through Akroeg, Ka'len, Lirisa, Shorka, Uthmor, Arhat, Moliko, Skullcleaver, Dolefaren, and Nissa. Then you rotate the Day dial through Kertandu, Hodandu, Evandu, Truffandu, Havrandu, Elandu, Chandu, Glythandu, Faeandu, and Tamsandu. Then, slightly embarrassed to be playing with the device as if it were a toy, you reset it to the proper date.
