How about a revolution in swordsmithing? Early terran blades were usually straight because it is hard enough to make a long narrow thing be strong enough to whack at people with, and probably doubly so with bronze. The Goddess brought about an age of new creativity and discovery, and presumably some clever weaponsmith was suddenly freed from making things the same way they had always been, and showed how to make curved blades, and explained the advantages. YT listened, took up the first scimitar, and started a new trend.
Most likely there is a minor cult in the empire dedicated to this smith. Might be a sub-cult of YT, could be a sub-cult of some (up until now not known) smithing god, could be a hero cult.
