Delves you go looking for, sized to what you need.
A VENTURE is a private, generated place off the permanent map: a dig-site or a cavern carved when you go in, explored, worked, and torn down when it is empty. venture lists the kinds and venture <kind> opens one where you stand in the wilds: a CAVERN to mine ore and gems (deeper sites yield rarer metal), a GROVE for herbs, wood and foraged stock, a HUNT with beasts to kill and skin for hides, a SHRINE for potions, food and restoratives, a HOARD of gold and trade goods (guarded), a VAULT of recipes, tools and refined stock (guarded). Treasure and cache sites are opened with open; surface leaves any of them.
They are the frontier layer that feeds crafting: excavation, gathering and hunting all draw on them, and the permanent world is never touched by one. A hidden site found by search on the open map runs richer than a venture you called up on purpose.
