The keep (free cities of the east faction, kingdom ?, capital Stonehelm)
Heroe - Sorcerer (racial ability - guildmaster)
v1 Halfing Stonethrower - Halfing Slinger (giant killer)
lv2 City Guard - Veteran Guard (hold ground, preparation)
lv3 Pikeman - Haleberdier (no retaliation, first strike)
lv4 Giant Falcon - Roc (flyer, hard skin)
lv5 Scholar - Enchanter (ranged, caster)
lv6 Swordsman - Crusader (children of light -double attack and defense vs undead and demonic, cleave, plate armour)
lv7 Silver dragon - Sky dragon (flyer, incorporeal)
We've seen a fair few Nagas, Orcs etc. (well it seems like it anyway), so personally if I had to choose one to develop it would be this, because it's different. The idea has promise and there is a selection of creatures to put in. Creating a defining race might be tricky if you don't want more humans (although not fully necessary obviously). I don't think you've got it spot on - e.g. I'd probably try to slot a Pegasus, Valkyrie etc. in, although this may not fit with your particular theme in mind - but it's jolly good, so keep up the good work!

shouldn't the hero be a guildmaster, if it has the racial ability guildmaster?
children of light? this is a faction worshiping Slyath, what will they want to do with his brother?
i don't really detect a theme, here. my i suggest looking at some cultures that might suit a dragon of air (japanese) and use there ancient soldiers in the faction (samurai, oban archers, sumo's) and look at what they believed in and use it as faction skills.

now some words about the stronghold units...
1 goblin- hobgoblin(enraged)
Goblins were also slaves of the wizards, they were key elements of magic mutations which in the end resulted in the creation of gremlins. During the orc rebelion they've seen their chance to free themselves and joined the orcs. Now they live amongst the orcs which tolerate the pesky little creatures who serve as a primary defense in case no other troops can be deployed.
2. axe thrower- punisher(ranged, short range, no melee penalty)
Orcs are very powerfull. However, those who by their nature are weaker have learned a way to compensate for their physical weakness. Their axes when thrown are devastating from a short distance, but have very little effect from affar. Also, when in close combat they can use their axes to full effect.
the rest coming soon....

3.Warrior - Brute (bravery,enraged)
These well trained orcs armed with a blade and a shield are the backbone of the stronghold army. They always are the first to enter the battle and sometimes, when their demon blood starts to boil they fight with an unseen rage and power but that makes them vulnerable to sneaky attacks.
4. Elder - Shaman
Although orcs have no affinity for magic when certain individuals become old and lose most of their strength they retreat from the main camps and live in the solitude of the golden steppes. It is so that they first began to communicate with spirits of the wild who in time taught them the art of shamanism.

Much better. 
Did I told you I have a problem with names like "Warrior" to orcs? It sounds like Haven's unit.

No, I'm quite sure that not all of them like the orcs.
