I personally believe in LOTR Middle Earth as a whole is diminishing. Compare the time of LOTR to that of Numenor. Look at the accomplishments of Numenor, Orthanc, Minas Tirith, the argonath. Things like that would be nearly impossible in the third age.In the book, after the seige of Minas Tirith they march against Mordor with 7,000 troops, and they refer to it as barely the Vanguard in the days of the last alliance. Even Mordor is a shadow of the evils that oncee were. In LOTR Middle Earth and its peoples have gone down. So naturally the strength of heroes as well as worthy quests.
