The Luhenye Aptar (English pronunciation /luˈwɛnje æpˈtɑː/ or /luˈwɛnje æpˈtɑɹ/, Aelsyan Lhuénye aPtár lit. "the Foot which Leads", commonly translated "Leading Foot" pronounced /ˈlweːnje aˈptaːr/, adjective Aptaran) is a polytheistic religion with elements of animism which was founded in Aelsya by the Three Prophets Qenye Mihuáná, Yahice Qedis and Sípa Qahua. The Prophets' teachings are recorded in the Hagioramae (Deqhuerá yAptórisán "Holy Visions") Since its founding it has spread across the continent of Asura and into lands which were colonised by nations practising the religion.
At the core of Aptaran belief are the four Aspects of Existence (Senámu-n Aytagáhuá) whose personifications are the Archaeotati (Ecémbráhuá "Most Ancient"), Tennu "Thought", Lós "Action", Líhánu "Emotion" and Bédanu "Creation", four gods which make up the core of the Aptaran pantheon. The pantheon consists of two groups: the Archaeothei (Suqaptón "Old Gods") and Neothei (Núraptón "Young Gods"). The Archaeothei are fifty-two main gods, including the Archaeotati as well as their children and grandchildren, the Megagenea (Yúpa Qánt "Great Family"). The Neothei are lesser spiritual beings with many and varied roles.
