But there is no mention in the lore anywhere about the Keepers of the Moon being nomads at all. I've heard that about Lalafell lore, and you could certainly argue that some Seeker tribes could be nomadic, it fits. But all the lore supports the Keepers staying pretty well rooted within the Black Shroud. Unless you mean they don't settle in just one place within the Shroud. I could see that, but I still haven't seen that stated in the lore yet.This is based on information I found on several wikis. I'll link them below.
If it is in there somewhere, I would be very interested in reading about it.
The top section labeled "Miqo'te" on this page.
The "demeanor" section on this page.
And this page on the official website.
The territorial assertion conflicts a little bit with the notion of nomadicism. To clarify, I feel it is likely that the males are nomadic, moving around between small family groups of females and children. This at least is how I'm interpreting the backstory for my character and her youth.

I've seen way more city-dwelling Miqo'te males than traditional tribal males, both among Seekers and Keepers.
I'm of the opinion that a lot of this is happening in some sort of off-screen or behind the curtain manner. For example, if you go outside Ul'dah, there's a single farm, whereas outside Limsa, there's quite a few farms and orchards. Is one farm supporting the entire populace of Ul'dah? Probably not. The vast majority of populations for all these races are never seen, because a truly realistic world would be too expansive to be captured in the game. The major cities, however, need that sort of description.
