The nomads stopped existing after the technological advancements. It was redundant and unethical to live like that in that point of time. I doubt Thedas is ever going to reach this time so nomads including the Dalish and Chasind will still exist. Not to mention these Nomads waited for the perfect time until said empires weakened and settled in their own lands. Most countries around the Caspian sea were originally nomadic people who settled there. This is also a way Dalish project can be concluded.
The nomads stopped existing after technological advancements allowed settler societies to wipe them out and assimilate them. Guns, germs, and steel favored the non-nomadic peoples, while population growth and expansion and trade routes limited the spaces the nomads could roam without interference. Once settlers established in all the good places and routes between them, the nomads had little security and less relevance outside the concessions of the established states and empires.
The peoples around the caspian sea were conquered components of the surrounding empires (particularly the russian and ottoman spheres of influence), not simply tribes that turned into stationary polities out of technological pragmatism and ethical enlightenment.
Neither is a particularly promising route for the Dalish, who themselves are far too divided and decentralized to be treated as a single polity in the first place.
