Nymeria, warrior queen of the Rhoyne. It's claimed by some that she knew witchcraft as well. The governess was quite scandalized by Arya's choice of name. (Careful about the link, no spoilers on that page, but I can't guarantee the rest of the site is safe).

Anyway, very good episode. Stark, the Imp and the tomboy are still my favorite characters. Such a large cast of enjoyable characters. I hope we get some more of Snow next episode.

I think Lady Stark was thinking:
1: Everyone thinks I'm taking him to Winterfell, I should take him somewhere other then expected
2: The Eyrie is an isolated and extremely strong castle, it would be very very hard for the Lannisters to fight their way there. A good place to keep your highborn and valuable hostages.
3: My sister has knowledge of the Lannister plots, and the murder of the last Hand, Jon Arryn. I should talk to her and compare notes so we discover the enemy plans.
4: My sister is the regent over the Vale of Arryn and thus has a large amount of resources. There are 7 kingdoms:
The North ruled by the Starks.
The Vale ruled by the Arryns (Catelyn's sister).
The Riverlands ruled by the Tullys (Catelyn's maiden name, her father is the ruling Lord, as we learned in episode 4).
The Rock ruled by the Lannisters. (Apparently has lots of goldmines).
The Stormlands ruled by the Barrathons (currently held by Renly in place of Robert who is High King, apparently there is also another brother Stannis running around who has the personality of a lobster).
Highgarden aka The Reach ruled by the Tyrells (The father of the Knight of Flowers boy- who we learned this episode is rich, but not as rich as the Lannisters).
Apparently the 7th kingdom is Dorne ruled by the Martels, as was briefly mentioned this episode (during the Bran scene).
Spoiler for Spolier for Dorne backstory based on info from HBOs site:
Apparently the Martels sister/daughter was married to the Targaryen heir before the rebellion, and
she got killed in the fighting.
I suspect they aren't too friendly towards any of the other noble houses.
Naturally if this conflict between Stark and Lannister comes to war the Starks will want allies. The ties of blood make the Riverlands and the Vale the most likely allies.
I don't think Catelyn knew how crazy sister was. She had this "Oh Sh--" look on her face that whole scene.

This made me laugh since Loyd is off with the Horse people (and not enjoying it too much).
