Hello,
I have read the Cheliax companion book, which has filled me with a bunch of ideas for some games in Cheliax, though more information can be helpful;
1.) how is the church of Amadeus organized; being a highly lawful evil deity, I imagined it might be similar to the catholic church in the middle ages in hierarchy, but perhaps it is organized differently?
2.) are there any saints, prophets, and holy men that are apart of the Church of Amadeus? I might make some up for my own games, but wondered if there is any canon info?
3.) What sort of Sacrifices does Amadeus desire? James Jacob said in another thread that the goat is his sacred animal, so maybe goats? or perhaps slaves but they could also be not 'worthy' enough. I would imagine that prisoners of war, like captured rebels/terrorists and other assorted criminals might be killed off that way.
4.) What are the laws of Cheliax and the Church? One of my players has mentioned to me the concept of playing an inquisitor of Amadeus, so knowing the laws might be helpful.
5.) how does Cheliax view the new base classes added in the Advanced Players guide?
6.)is there a map somewhere that has the detailed maps of both isger and Cheliax together from the inner sea world guide? As Isger is a land in thrall to Cheliax, it would be nice to have a map of the whole Cheliax empire.
7.) What type of names are typical for cheliaxians? I know there is the list of names in the inner sea world guide and humans of goliarian, but still I would like more info on what type of names are typical for them. I have read some where in the forums that some use romans, others use typical fantasy, and others use italian names. I am curious which might be best?
sincerely,

Read Council of Thieves Part 5: Mother of Flies and God and Magic of Golarion for information on the Church of Asmodeus
Read Pathfinder Companion - Cheliax - Empire of Devils for the laws of Cheliax and the Church
well cheliax, empire of devils; does not have what I am looking for, that is actual laws. It does give me ideas on laws, the chart on bribery is helpful indeed. However, specific laws are sort of what I am looking for.

If you're looking for a book of legal code for a nation that worships the diabolic god of lawyers, contracts, slavery, and tyranny, I think you will be sorely let down. A book like that would be several libraries in size and would make your eyes bleed.
Use the information in the Cheliax book along with information from Council of Thieves as guidelines. If you think Cheliax has a rule against it, it does. There should be plenty of loopholes of course, but really you just need to use your own judgement.
Their PF Chronicles/CS Book of the Damned part 1: Princes of Darkness, PF Chronicles/CS Gods and Magic, PF Inner Sea World Guide, and the upcoming Player Companion Faiths of Corruption should have info that you might want to check out.
thanks I have checked out some of the council of theievs books, and there was one, I think it is the 5th part, that dealt with Asmadeus that I found really helpful.
but here is a question that I have been thinking about, in early books there was a group called the darklight sisterhood, but I have not seen much info on them even in the cheliax compaion. Are they removed from canon or what not?
I think that the darklight sisterhood got removed from canon, but can't quite recall the source of that tidbit; it might have been something from the messageboards.
