Hi,
I got a couple of questions:
--Is there a list listing the currently "legal" gods/demigods whatever in Cheliax?
--Is heresy against "legal" "gods", but gods who are not part of the infernal hierarchy punished in Cheliax? Meaning, I obviously get into problems with the government. But what if I vandalize a temple of father skinsaw with tasteful depictions of another assassination focused entity that is objectively much nicer to look at?
--Is there a list of what industries Kintargo has? My planned character is pretty much highly profit oriented, and would be planning to gain money by selling the Chelish military things that are expensive but which they dont actually need.
Cheliax's religious law establishes one church and by default tolerates all others but reserves to the right to proscribe any other church at any time, for any length of time, for any reason. As of the opening of Hell's Rebels, the central government proscribed the Glorious Reclamation for sedition, obviously--but did not proscribe the Church of Iomedae as a whole. After the Glorious Reclamation's insurrection was put down, Queen Abrogail would dishonorably lure the leadership of Iomedae's mainstream church to their deaths by execution in Egorian, but would still not actually proscribe her worship. This was for nationalistic reasons: Iomedae was a Chelish subject in life, and her place in the heavens is a persistent source of patriotic pride. Barzillai Thrune in his capacity as Lord-Mayor of Kintargo promulgated several more proscriptions within his jurisdiction that are relevant to the campaign: of Calistria, Cayden Cailean, Desna, Milani, and Sarenrae. He also mandated that congregants at Shelyn's religious services register with the government, but did not proscribe her worship outright.
The government will not intervene to protect a church that is not established, per se. However, the act of vandalism of another's property is generally unlawful, and you might find yourself arrested and charged if you engage in it, whatever the target. Furthermore, even if you are not, if the relevant church finds you out, it can sue you civilly for damages; the state will aid it in this aim by haling you into court, punishing you for contempt if you don't show up, and likely by favoring the institution over the individual in terms of its rules of procedure.
I address Ravounel's economic base, including Kintargo's manufacture (read: handicraft) and mercantile economy here.

She could plausibly be currently legal on account of grevious personal harm infliceted upon Baphomet by her, and a pitch could be made that having her gobble up part of Callistrias market share in terms of followers could be a plausible plot for the Asmodeans to have these 2 go after one another, and not after house Thrune.
The thing I am uncertain about is, this type of divide at empere would instantly appeal to any real life occupier, but I do not know to what degree Cheliax local authorities habitually hold either idiot- or arrogance-balls.
Glass blowing (lenses do have a number of military applications) seems to be a reasonable thing to invest in.
The Chelish authorities are unlikely to be at all sympathetic to worshippers of Nocticula (in whatever aspect) based on their god's personal trauma. They live to cause grief and pain in the pursuit of power, after all. Rather, the cult of the Redeemer Queen may be able to escape persecution, for a while, on two grounds: (1) the cult is marginal enough as of 4715 AR to not be on any proscription lists, and is unlikely to garner significant attention until the Rebellion's Notoriety score hits some benchmark; and (2) based on her title, Nocticula seems like she competes with Sarenrae (not Calistria), who is very much on Kintargo's specific proscription list (although, so is Calistria). That said, Barzillai Thrune specifically juggles both an idiocy and an arrogance ball at all times.
