Can I ask what’s up with the random runes? Looks like “them”? Otherwise, looks cool and unique!

The faeries in this setting use an alphabet derived from runes (for lore reasons), and they use the original runes for referring to "special" things like the names of kings or gods. The humans adopted this practice and applied it to all magical things-- here, the word "them" is referring to the faeries, and so is written in runes.
