Dogma
Dwarves worship Gurnaur Dothraan Forgefather. It's not too common knowledge that Gurnaur is actually the great ancestor and warband champion Morin Morinsen. Dwarven clerics value hard work and they themselves often aid the miners in many different ways. One of these is when methane outbursts and cave-ins happen in the mines. (Organization alignment: neutral good)

Rituals
Tazo urwa Thaagar (Day of Seeking)

Every winter all dwarves to reach maturity are to descend into the mines with experienced excavating leaders and mining elders to hone and develop a sense for treasure. This time is also taken to teach the young mining songs in rhythmic baritone. Much preparation goes into this day whether it be the order of the Stone Fist maintaining the constant safety of the young or the clergies mass readying of blessings for all those descending downward into the deep. Before all this the community gathers outside the temple en mass, the guild leaders in the front rows awaiting the kings words of pride and encouragement to his people.

Aznn Waurhkath Ag (All Forges Eve)

Every twelfth moon the Morinsen dwarves celebrate All Forges Eve. At this time every dwarf has a certain part to play in celebrating the years end and beginning. The cooks prepare an enormous feast of umberhulk arms, giant lizard, malt beer, and more. Blacksmiths and their apprentices thoroughly clean out there forge to a shine and embellish them with the best gems and markings their guild can supply. The guilds focused on that of war and battles are dressed in their finest and participate in several contests of strength and fortitude such as wrestling, tossing (weights or pieces of broken wagon), and/or lifting. Mining dwarves unveil crafted rawhide drums and play thru ought the settlement with their singing brethren while the dwarves of royalty and high standing partake in an ancient dance that goes back for generations. Once the forges are properly blessed and the appropriate offerings have been made to the forge father, the population partakes in their great feast. All of this is done very timely and would seem to end at a moments notice so that the dwarves can efficiently return to work.
