Are some of those runes real? Some parts jumped out of the screen as English letters with extra bits (“savior” and “Emma” in particular). It reminds me of the “blinkenlichten” pseudo-German warning on computers.

Most of the runes are real, Elder Futhark with some freedom of use though, and a few inventions. The rune for ‘w’ they use is an upside-down version of Futhark rune for ‘m’, their own invention, and they smuggled in a ‘V’ to write ‘savior’. Don’t know why they didn’t use the existing rune for ‘w’ though, maybe their computer font doesn’t have the right rune. But have to make compromises 😉

For example two words written in Futhark:

emma and sister elder in futhark
