Christian Dooley asked Bryce O'Connor:

Hello Bryce, It has been ages since I have found a book that enraptures me as the wings of war series has. Raz's character was done perfectly, you do an awesome job in conveying emotion, especially through his character. Just curious, what inspirations did you take, and/or what did you research do to form the religion of Laorin, and also more specifically, their aversion to killing?

Bryce O'Connor Hey Christian! Hate to give you a lackluster answer, but there honestly wasn't a lot of deliberate research done when it comes to the Laorin. Honestly they're just a culmination of a lot of outside influences, primarily (probably) the most positive influences I've had with people of the Christian faith in particular. I'm not much for faith myself, and have had some bad experiences due to that in the past, but I've also met some wonderful people while exploring the concept. I think they are the major influence.
