Nobody's going to eat you for being creative, but I'd like to point out that Nival already remarked that the Free Cities aren't and never can be unified enough to actually form an individual faction in the game. If anything, they'd each be represented by Academies, Strongholds and Havens, or a combination of the three.
Also, the motto needs, ehh... some... ehh... work.

The music is very, very nice (some of the best things I have ever seen to be honest - better then the childish "Tales of Karador" stuff) but I dont think the faction creatures are interesting. If free cities would be made, it should be a Dragon(knight) and Blind Brothers town.
And when did Nival said that the Free Cities wont be a faction?

I never really understood this whole Dragon Knight thingy... weren't they just a pretty small order dedicated to demon killing? Is it anything to base a whole faction around?

They are the champions of Asha
In my HoMM6, the last parts of the storyline are to find the Elemental Dragons and awaken them (which forces you to defeat the Naga in order to reach Shalassa etc) or if you play on the evil side (faceless, demons, undead, insectoid etc) then you will try to gather some artifacts to open the gates to Inner Sheogh where Urgash is locked and kill the elemental dragons.
The Dragonknights and Blind Brothers, once guardians of Ashan and champions of Asha, rises again now that the demons have free entrace to the surface world.
Both Arantir and Raelag are champions of Asha and Raelag becomes a dragonknight (and Arantir is ressurected as a Lich).
Asha herself gathers the dragon forces and the Dragonknights and Blind Brothers reappear from their hidden stronghold and reforms their Order.
Asha sends her dragon forces (Drakonids, Drakeodons and Hatchlings etc) to assist them in defeating Urgash and prevent the apoclaypse (if you play on the good side, there is a evil side too - but the endings are the same).
Anyway, the Dragonknights choose the Free Cities to become their base or operations (or Asha choosed it for them really) since its the last "kingdom" in the old, mosly destroyed and now volcanic continent. Plus the Free Cities are rather hidden inside the mountains surroanding the capital of Stonehelm.
---------------------------
Anyway that is very off-topic but I wanted to prove that the Dragonknights work as a Free City faction plus the story says they hid in mountain strongholds, except for Grimheim (home of the dwarves) - the mountains in Stonehelm and the Free Cities are part of the only big mountain range on the map.
( and maybe I forgot to say it but its supposed to be a expansion town - in the last expansion, like Stronghold in HoMM5).
But this is very off-topic and

I dunno whether to laugh or cry. I guess I'll go with laugh.
And the Blind Brothers / Silent Sisters are just a group of soothsaying wizards. They are represented already by the Academy. Plus, there's a lot they lack, like a native terrain, notable presence in the world, relevant units etc (they would become the fourth human-occupied town, counting Necro). If there were a new faction it would be the Naga, first and foremost.
The point about the Free Cities is noted here.

No, Blind Brothers follows the teachings of Asha (which are not 100% the same
And what is wrong with liking the town music? I think it was excellent are really fitted with this free city concept.
Here is an example of an interesting free cities (now I dont remember all names 100% correctly and I came up with this in like 1 minute)
1. Hatchling-Explosive Hatchling/Dragonspawn
2. Watcher-Royal Guard/Stonehelm Guard
3. Draconiad-Draconiad Captain/Draconiad Lietuant
4. Disciple-Blind Brother/Silent Sister (did you made up silent sisters? I have never heard of it)
5. Templar-Dragonknight/Moon Champion
6. Drakeadon-Chromatic Drakeadon/???
7. White Dragon-Silver Dragon/Lunar Dragon
That is 3 human units (I could not come up with anythng better then Royal Guards at the moment).
Native terrain would be... dun dun dun... Mountain/Hills and they would obviosly be the only good faction that is stationed in the old homm5 continent (all other good factions fled to a new world across the sea).

Sorry, I thought you meant the rest of the faction aside from the themes (nobody I know can actually see music, that's for sure ).
Not everything mentioned in the timeline has to be a faction. The Pirate Elves mentioned by Jeff, for instance. Blind Brothers are already in Heroes V (check the Astrologers' Towers) - there's no reason for them to go to war anyway. They're just prophets.
"Asha is not worshipped directly. She is above such things. But she is served by the Silent Sisters and the Blind Brothers, who throughout the world, help the women give birth, perform auguries and supervise funeral rites."
Fat lot of good they'd be in battle.  Also, mountains / hills isn't exactly much of a unique or interesting setting and terrain, now is it?

Was Snow that? Or even taiga (but I kind of liked "taiga" because it really felt like a forest).
Grass is not interesting either etc.
And in my story the Blind Brothers and Silent Sisters reform their old "order" together with the dragon(s)(knights) after having beign scattered all over the world.
And they would only be a unit shooter anyway, not like a whole army filled with them

What I mean to say is there's already mountains / hills as standard. They come with Grass and "Orcish". How you can define a hill as a terrain type is a little bit beyond me. But still, grass yadda yadda don't have to be original, because their factions aren't original, they're the core ones. However, Blind Brothers are original. If you're trying to add in an interesting faction new to the series, unlike the ones we already have, you ought to use interesting ideas (including terrains).
An example of an "interesting" terrain would be, say, the graphic of the Magic Plains from HIV. But anyway.

I know how hard it is to find suiting music, but the only thing that could possibly fit in with the overall HoMM music is the Terrain theme Skele... all the others makes me thinks of... Final Fantasy games... (I love FF, but HoMM is a world apart from that)

But my mountains could be different
The magic plains are already reserved for Academy in my HoMM6 and Snow for the Dwarves.
But I have come up with another one.... = GOLD
There cities could be made of gold and silver so whole maps would basically be big cities (kind of like some Warcraft 3 maps - yes I must mention blizzard in every single thread)

I know all. But, i thinked this: Free cities... are the same ethnity like Haven. They go away because they didn't wanted to worship Elrath, when Haven didn't was Griffin Empire, they was Falcon Empire. I thinked they are 60% civilized. And, near Haven, are mounts. Maybe, they goed to mounts. For that, they can have foresters. They ... wolfs. The warrior is a, a, warrior. For lvl 4, everyone has a caster. For lvl 5, they must be leaded by someone. And on peaks are rocs. And near peaks, are lairs, for behemoths. They ... behemoths. I wanted behemoths, because I thinked the are a lot of dragons.
...=I meaned to train wild animals
