Short answer
Vale Sangora is the open world, with Svartrau as its true city and named locations including Silberkreis, Greifberg, Howling Keep, and Shrike's Crag in official material. The whole map is visible from the start, but activities and points of interest are discovered and marked as you explore. Fast travel is tied to the world map; exact shrine positions, route times, and collectible coordinates need a retail map pass.
Map facts at a glance.
The useful map answer is more than a list of names. A launch map should tell you what kind of place you are entering, how it was discovered, whether it changes by phase, and whether it offers a shortcut or a time-sensitive objective.
