Hi Everyone,
we decided about the classes and so on with all my players (one dwarf fighter, one halfling sorcere, one rogue cheliax and one paladin of Iomedae).
Where can I find some information about Iomedae, the church in Korvosa (in a another place than the pantheon of many?)or everything about it to introduce this "god" for my player.
Thanks a lot,

At this point, your best bet is the Gazetteer, which has a write-up on each of the main 20 gods of Golarion. I don't recall a church of Iomedae in Korvosa aside from the Pantheon of Many, but I could be wrong. You might check the Guide to Korvosa, but you've probably already done that, in which case that's it.

Right now, the best source of information is the Gazetteer. Alternately, there have been other threads, particularly in the General Pathfinder Sub-board and the Runelords Sub-board, about this particular subject. If you do some thread mining, you can come up with a fair amount of information, such as it is.
Not to build your expectations up too high, there's not a lot of data, period. At least in comparison to a full diety write-up like Desna and Abadar have. What there is, is collected in one spot in the Gazetteer. If you have that, you don't need to search, because it's all there.
One reason is that Iomedae is not common to Varisia, despite the fact that there is a Cathedral in Magnimar. That Cathedral is something of a lone missionary outpost (and that makes sense because Magnimar is something of an 'international shipping port' with lower taxes than Korvosa, and more safety than Riddleport.
Oh yeah! There is an Iomedae Cathedral in Magnimar! (I just realized you wrote Korvosa), but in terms of description, it's just a note on the map.
I had many of these same challenges you're probably facing, as one of my PC is a cleric of Iomedae, and not rag on the Paizo guys, but there have been challenges. Sometimes I wished the player had gone with Desna and made my life easier, but what can you do? Players need some autonomy. :) In my second campaign, being run on a different night, the cleric went with Saranrae.
You can also expect more info in the Hardback Campaign Setting, definitely in the upcoming Gods and Magic book, and eventually Iomedae will get her own detailed write-up, but no sooner than the 4th AP, if that.

Correct, but she does have her own church in Magnimar.
You won't find it described in the Magnimar text in Pathfinder #2, but remember when the maps all had the wrong scale? Well, when they re-did the maps they made a second version of it with location tags.. A Cathedral to Iomedae shows up there.
There is some data in the threads, because I begged for about 3 months before the Gazetteer came out... but whatever can be found with a search is all in the Gazetteer now.

It is fitting that this is the case, as Korvosa has followed the changes in Cheliax as a way of gaining some semblance of acceptance from their former homeland, while Magnimar has moved away from Chelish influence. Since Iomedae picked up Aroden's mantle, it makes sense that Magnimar would be the one of the two major Varisian city-states to worship her.
