The Rift
Cohesiveness(5+3)=8 Creatures are tied together, but I doubt they are really fitting into HoMM
Imagination(5+3+4)=12 Much of creativity here, but once again: too much copying from Heroes 5 (void is an innovation though)
Back Story(5+4)=9 It really expands on the universe, but I miss the thrilling twist on story
Battle Facets(4+3)=7 I think it's too conventional, though the abilities aren't bad
Discretionary: +3 for in-depth description, race relations, voidwalker
Total Score=39
How I graded these:
Cohesiveness (Internal Coherence [1-5]+HoMM Compatibility [1-5])
Imagination (Creativity [1-5]+Innovations [1-5]+Originality[1-5])
Back Story (How well it expands on one of the HoMM universes [1-5]+How interesting it was to me [1-5])
Battle Facets (Variety [1-5]+Inventive Aspects [1-5])
Discretionary (Bonus for exceptional efforts[1-5])

My review isn't really different from Tobius' one in marks and reasons, except I'm known for higher mark than his.
I'd subtract one point in cohesiveness (even if you're saying you intended the faction to be not that cohesive anyway) add one point in imagination for the racial, one for the backstory as I feel the flavor was greatly cared, and the lastly I'd add points in discretionary because I overall liked a lot the idea of the etherplane.
So, you get in the end:
Cohesiveness: 7/10
Imagination: 13/15
Backstory: 10/10
Battle facets: 7/10
Discretionary: 4/5
Overall: 41/50

The Rift:
FriendofGunnar
cohesiveness 8/10
originality 10/15
backstory 7/10 It's thorough
battle facets 7/10 the cross shaped mind blast was interesting. So's this:"A third "level" of gameplay is thus introduced into the game...Heroes of the Rift faction begin play in the Netherworld, while all other factions originate and permanently remain in the Physical"
although, how can an enemy possibly win if the rifters can just hide?
discretionary 4/5
I hate giving a faction with so much effort such a low score but it just doesn't grab me.
Also, it would have been better if it had been compressed.
