This does not sound like a Scandinavian language to me.

Isn't this just English backwards or something like that? :) Judging from
the context I'd guess this was something people were supposed to be able
to figure out without specialist knowledge.

The (English) runes on the skull read "GOREWOOD FOREST" as I'm sure you've
figured out already.
