Well, taking the proximity to the lunar forge into account, it seems that there is some sort of magick at work around Whiterun that causes semi-molten metal to take on unique properties given the proper equipment. The forge itself could have possibly been designed by Zenithar to take advantage of this fact. Or perhaps the lunar forge is piggybacking so to speak on the power of the Skyforge, being a failed attempt to recreate its capabilities.
