The number called was: B10

My cards and prompts were:
Economy: Scarcity
Off the Map's Edge: Fell Beast

Famine in the Land

Their dominion was an older time, before tales of lamps and suns and moons and Elves and Men. They flew above the world uncontested, thousands upon thousands, great dark skeins against the fledgling sky. They screamed and dived and feasted on the duller, slower beasts that crawled below.

Endless winter fell from nowhere. The sky turned black. The mountains erupted and the seas caught fire. Only the strongest survived, shivering alone in the cold pits, grubbing at dead earth for whatever they could find.

Then He came. And from the first piece of flesh He offered them, they were His.

And the hour shall come round for the slouching rough beast.

Tiny nitpick: If you are using 'He' in the penultimate sentence, should it be 'His' in the final one?

I think you're right.

Shiver up the spine stuff - but just perfect.
