I recently started playing and like to do immerse myself into story by having quests before entering certain areas like delves.
I started in Aurion and found a book called Entila's Folly which directed me to the cave that was a Delve.
Now there are other delves I found but not related to quests or books so my question is will I find book or quests related to delves or are they stand alone dungeons to be done?

Sometimes a book or NPC conversation hints to a delve. Sometimes there is a quest giving NPC near the delve, sometimes not. Sometimes there is a quest inside, sometimes not. Some delves are on the daily undauted mission list.

You cant go wrong with delves. Either you find one by exploring or a NPC/book is hinting to it. You also cant mess up the story arc with delves.

Most Delves you just discover on your own. There are 6 in Each Major Zone. Couple of the DLC zones have less. There is an Exploration Achievement that helps you track finding them.

All Delves have a Skyshard inside.

Most all Delves have a related quest, usually a FedEx kind of Quest where you deliver something.

Sonetimes you get to help an NPC. Taking the easy way out of dialog choices using persuasion or intimidation usually means an NPC dies, so don't be lazy.

There are always books and papers in a Delve that give you a backstory on the place, read them. Some are quite poignant.

Look around the outside near the entrance, sometimes books are moved there after so you read them easier. Not sure how much this is still done on non quest locked literature.

Usually the quests starters for quests related to delves are near the entrance to the delve or inside the delve.

Sometimes you can acquire knowledge about a delve's location by reading a book or by talking to a npc.
