Absolutely permissible! Just remain aware that death rates will remain high, as would raids and natural disasters, and crops would therefore be unreliable to feed a high population. You'd probably be looking at something that is on a cycle of destruction and constant rebuilding. In other words, life ain't easy.

In other-other words, a character who feels relatively safe would have no reason to participate in this story. ;)

On the contrary! If anything, tons and tons of adventures begin with characters who have relative security in life and who can actually afford time away from home without, you know, worrying about her entire family dying while she's away. I intend to keep the society plenty 'on the edge,' but I feel like 300 years is a fair amount of time for a broken civilization to rebuild to the point of at least [i]relative[/i] security. If they didn't have some sufficient means of survival, after centuries of this crazy world, one would assume they would be completely wiped out. That's... kind of the basis I'm working off of, anyways. Call it Darwin's Law of Natural Selection at work.
