Kolshushu is a vast expanse of arid wasteland is situated in the center of the Mindartian Continent in Final Fantasy XI. In the ancient language of the Tarutaru, the word "Kolshushu" means "the land of decision". Many centuries ago, when the Tarutaru made their epic journey from the continent of Quon, countless lives were lost in this region due to a lack of water and the perilous terrain. It was then that the tribes held a great meeting to decide whether they should continue their journey or head back to their homeland.
