So, during the Shining Crusade the Knights of Ozem summoned their partron Arazni.
Now, disregarding the fact that this turned out to be a Very Stupid Move—could anyone tell me the actual (in-universe) name of the Ritual involved? I could swear I read the name somewhere on the Internets™, but I've been searching for it for a couple of days now, and… nothing.

I don't think it's ever been officially revealed (someone who knows otherwise feel free to correct me). This lore point comes from before there were mechanics in the game for players to cast rituals, and I don't think any ritual introduced in either 1e or 2e gives the casters the power to bind their goddess.
On the other hand, a 1e spell, Planar Ally, did have the special provision that, if your deity saw fit, they could send their herald instead of a minion to help you out. This spell became a 2e ritual called Planar Servitor. Of course, Arazni was Aroden's herald, but the knights were not his worhippers either, and it would be strange for this ritual to be able to call Arazni herself, although granted this whole scenario is kind of a special plot event anyway.
Meanwhile, I'm given to understand that the binding of Arazni to the knights' will might have been a separate event, after she arrived on the battlefield and the knights had time to get nervous about the possibility of her somehow being turned against them.
