Dravot's Axioms is the name given to the sayings and utterances recorded of Liv Dravot-Osman, the Imperial Mother, during her rebellion against her son's government led by the Steward, the the Count Palatine of Kezan.

Dravot's Axioms
- Confronting adverse realities:
- If at first you don't succeed, apply blunt object trauma until the definition of success revises itself in view of changed circumstances;
- Facts are recorded by humans. Humans are susceptible to pain. The truth therefore may be subject to revision, if facts are corrected with sufficient vigour.
- Statecraft:
- Like a highwayman, the state must maintain the air of blameless innocence between the times of dragging victims into the undergrowth to despoil and dismember, similarly the atrocities must be varied, lest travellers elect to favour a different road.
