Creation and Usage Notes

I take credit for coming up with the expression "bells and holly". Clay Kaytis, the director, wanted the elves to have a kind of battlecry they'd use when either diving into combat and parachuting off the sleigh. He asked me to do a number of natlang cries in an Elvish accent, but I didn't like that idea, so I came up with Graanip hi chuur! and recorded that as well. I think it works rather nicely, and count it as good fortune that that's the one that made the cut.
