This thread is long sleeping, but having now read it all I wish to point out a inconsistent factor in all the stories. The assumption has been, without fail, that Vulthoryol was captured underground. Why? The Dwemer have numerous surface structures existing everywhere. It's not like they only lived underground, and dragons -residents of mountains and sky- even less so. Why not capture the dragon with the tonal artifact above ground and then "install" him where needed. Personally, I think, Vulthoryol literally -was- the light. He was "installed" there to be the light. What better power source than the magic of a immortal battery? Consider all the Dwemer mechanisms that still run. Dark Overlord maybe less a name of drama and more a job description. The light hanging over the darkness of black reach. Since you can release him with only Fus -Force-, the shout breaks the containment from the outside by disrupting the tone of the artifact.
