You leave the "tower" you leave the Traveller?

So taking a quote from Deej "If you leave the tower you leave the protection of the Traveler" (or something along those lines). He could have said "last city" there instead of "tower" and that worries me. It seems like the world will be delineated as safe in the tower, and dangerous in the wilderness, with the city left out of the equation.
. . . I hope we can explore the city as well as the tower.

I'm pretty sure I recall a quote somewhere that said the city will be fully explorable.
