Muelsfell: Rise of the Golems - Fantasy Browser Games by Necrotales Games

Darghelm, in the Foothills of Ulvania

The hardy people of Ulvania value family bonds and friends over all else, so Darghelm has developed an extensive network of taverns, cozy inns, and messaging systems. They are not a cowardly nor xenophobic people and so allow people from all over the continent to use their taverns and speakeasy establishments.

Seriously, posting around this has been driving me nuts! Is it "Magi" or is "Magus" singular and plural, or what?

Magi, as in Gift of the. Mage or Magus would be singular, and this game uses Magus.

Besides, while "Maguses" or "Magesses" are fun to say, people then start tripping over their tongues. Not a pretty picture and then poor Master Healer Malakor gets stuck trying to fix the mess. :)

They are correct, the plural is magi.

Goose/Geese. Moose/Meese.
Mouse/Mice. House/Hice.

Gotta love the English language. (and yes the second pairing are wrong, but they are fun)

I tend to mix things up, using mage sometimes and magus other times. They both refer to players or NPCs.

Mage -> Mages
Magus -> Magi

Let me know if I made a mistake in my usage on a page somewhere. :)
