Ah, it's all part of the general trend of mythology and the second law of thermodynamics. Mankind makes nature and religion less relevant, things were fancier in the Olde Dayes, and everything goes to crap in the end. Also see works by Tolkien, Miyazaki, and George Romero.

Its true, anyone know why in fantasy its allways more magical in the old days? I mean I absolutely LOVE the way you can see nations rise and fall over the ages, I just wish that there wasn't a general downwards trend twoards death and no magic. I understand it from a gameplay point of view but from a story point of view its not so good.
