@Thelonechosenwanderingvaultcourier It doesn't say anywhere he can't use a dragon shout, if it did, we wouldn't have used it. He only used it to scare the court and show how powerful he was. He could have defeated Torygg without it to be honest.

Torygg might have known about it, since they had some respect for each other at one point. Furthermore, a shout is really just a powerful form of magic, but no one would have cared if Ulfric defeated him with magic.

Also, good luck with shouting him off a cliff, as he is essential and you can only kill him if you are stupid enough to join the Imperials.
