Call of the forge [miracle]
This miracle is designed to allow our god to bless the forges of the fortress city. Metal crafts are in constant demand and a god that can aid in fulfilling this demand will surely prove popular to the other dwarves of the fortress. Not even to mention how important well made arms in order to fight back the goblins and the damn elves.
As such, this miracle will make the city forges roar stronger, the fires grow hotter and the blacksmiths and crafters working them will work harder. This state will be as a trance upon the dwarves, guiding them to better forge the metal even as the forges allow them to work at a faster pace. By the end of a day after this miracle, Our blacksmiths are expected to have been able to make double the products of arms, armour and other metal objects then they normally can.

The Forge roars, and the Dwarves of the fortress answer. The Call of the Forge starts with a single forge, burning just slightly hotter and clearer than it ought to. Any dwarf who gazes upon it is placed under a weak compulsion to feed it, to nurture it, to create tools, swords, armor and works of art. The longer they stay, the greater this compulsion becomes. They go out, seeking others to assist them, spreading the miracle to nearby forges, and enthralling other dwarves. Within hours, entire sections of the fortress find themselves working the forges as hard as they can, producing craftsdwarfship at rapid pace, seemingly unaware of their surroundings.
The phenomenon usually burns itself out within the day, leaving behind piles of manufactured goods and a grand number of sore, tired and bewildered dwarves.

Ritual: Weekly Mass
A simple ritual which runs for about 30 minutes, where the worshippers affirm their faith in a temple richly endowed with beautiful art and engraved walls and floors. The stories of the faith are engraved all around the room and the priest may animate one to show the story of our faith. All Masterwork art produced by worshippers that week is then presented at the altar (which is an anvil) and blessed. This art may optionally be donated to the temple, where it will be put on display for precisely 40 days before being donated to the poor (enhancing recruitment). Soldiers may ask for blessings for their weapons and armour. Worshippers then affirm their faith and praise the glory of Ardezan.

The weekly mass is a simple ritual spread among Ardezan's believers, both among the most devout and the more secular members. The worship takes place in a chapel, decorated as best as is able with art and engravings. Stories of the faith are recorded upon the walls, illuminated and explained by the attending the priest. This lecture from the Stone lasts for most of the proceedings, before the time of formal offerings comes.
Those who so desire can offer crafts for display to the Gods in the Chapel. After 40 days, these crafts are donated for the good of the fortress. The entire ritual is a powerful unifying factor, but it's focus on people rather than the divine makes it less useful at gaining favor.

Inspiration. The art of eliminating doubt and distraction allowing people to focus on what is truly important, craftmanship. It's a simple cantrip, with mild effects with no particularly long effect. Which is good, as the cantrip does tend to make people forgetfull about things that are not their craft.
