Neither the Aedra nor the Daedra have sufficient power on Nirn.

The Aedra do not have any kind of notable power because they're essentially ''dead. ''They sacrificed themselves to create Nirn, and only a very small part of their former power is left.

The Daedra did not have anything to do with Nirn's creation, meaning they did not sacrifice parts of themselves. This would, naturally, mean that they are more powerful than the Aedra; but they aren't. They reside in Oblivion and have built there their own realms, however, because of that they cannot really influence Nirn except in special occasions (for example, when the Wheel breaks; Oblivion/ESO).
