Then... why hasn't there been an invasion? If your character knows how Daimons act on Beluaterra, then -- simply by virtue of Dwilight's long history of Daimons not acting like the Daimons on Beluaterra -- he ought to know that the Daimons on Dwilight are different.

Occam's Razor says that we should assume the simplest explanation.

The simplest explanation here is that the Dwilight Daimons are just as deadly and inimical to humanity as their counterparts on Beluaterra, but for reasons we do not know—a mystical force, a lack of guidance, their own inscrutable agenda, or something else entirely—they choose not to rampage through the land.

The simplest explanation is not that these are, essentially, completely different beings who just happen to also be called Daimons.

Again, you seem to have a hard time putting yourself in the shoes of someone who doesn't have your knowledge.  Please try to accept that for someone who knows nothing about the Zuma, but a lot about the Beluaterra invasions, this is at least a logical conclusion to draw, even if it's not the only one.
