Great theory in my opinion.

The only part I wonder about is the philosopher stone part since as I've mentioned in other comments the author seems strongly influenced by the Cthulhu Mythos instead of other fantasy settings like D&D, and from what I can gather since I haven't read the Philosopher Stone book myself. In the Cthulhu Mythos the Philosopher Stone is not so much about giving power but instead can introduce a higher state of conciousness to a person. This allows the user to for example access memories of their ancestors and even other races ancestors which allows them to glimpse back into history. This makes the Philosopher Stone allows people to become "Philosophers" so to speak by granting them vast amounts of knowledge.

Still the traditional view of the Philosopher's Stone is that it can be used to make the elixir of life. So your theory can be seen as both logical and plausible in what the author might have in mind for the future. I especially liked your thoughts about the twin golem since I myself never really thought about it but it really makes sense to some degree atleast :D.
