Colony 9 is the first major area of the game and a Homs settlement, with it being the home of Shulk, Reyn, Fiora, and Dunban. It is located on the Bionis’ right calf and the entrance to Tephra Cave can be found on the western side of the map. One must be careful exploring some of the areas of the map, as there are plenty of high level monsters roaming, although it is possible to get all Landmarks and Locations right away, if one is careful. With it being the first real town in the game, you will find plenty of quests to do and be introduced to a lot of mechanics.
