Why then, would a couple throw away their ambition and career, just starting out, to have kids? While "accidents" certainly happen, I suspect it is a social contract hunters have with their kingdoms.

Hitler had a breeding campaign, and because hunters are physically superior stock and known effective aura types I would wager they have something similar, we already know they are financially supported by the kingdoms, so why wouldn't the kingdoms attempt to have superior stock for subsequent generations? This would also cover all of their bases in case the hunter dies young, 9 months is hardly a big deal when you can maintain youthful vigor longer than 100 years, and many genetic risks/defects to the child are actually avoided by having pregnancy earlier in life, our society is only now understanding these risks due to our extended lifespan and higher level of education causing more people to live as you are expecting. The fact life in remnant is supposedly so dangerous only increases the odds they would employ some kind of domestic eugenics type program.
