Sorry for filling up the 'most recent comments' section, but I have just discovered that the -essence names are unnecessary. After looking at the Crooked Bishop and Crooked Queen I discover that what I termed Primessence and secondessence are in fact the Crooked Rook and Crooked Bishop. By extrapolation the Quintessence itself is a Crooked Nightrider. It also means that the Nonessence can be broken down into its orthogonal and 3d oblique components.
