If you take a look at this image you shall notice several things, first is the dying man then you notice what appears to be a king surrounded by 2 men wielding large shields and several banner men even further behind them.

Lets take a closer look at the man and look towards the bottom right and see a fallen crown and a spilled wine cup to the bottom left which heavily implies royalty, now lets look at the buildings walls which are built wide and tall in what appears to be traditional demacian design and we can basically confirm that this is in the demacian royal court, that the king in the background is likely jarvan the 3rd and the man dying on the floor is likely and elder or younger brother to Jarvan IV.

thoughts?

Garen tasted ash and despair. He had never known defeat. Not like this. Even when he once believed Jarvan was dead, he’d found the will to continue. Now, his life was being sapped with every breath.

It also occurs to me that this could indeed be jarvan IV himself.

Nah there's little to no room for further speculation, it's 100% set in Demacia. Although I think your mistaken about the shocked monarch in the background being male, it looks pretty feminine to me.

Also I'm reminded of Jaredan teasing the community during the Galio update that Demacia was in mourning from the loss of their current ruler or something to that general idea. Since no mention or reference came about from all the lore released then, I just assumed he was messing with us all. Obviously now this splash gives a lot of strong evidence to that idea still holding weight.

Partly due to it being some what proven he was no body of any significance, beyond a creative expression from the splash artist. However the dead man's silver and white colour scheme has always been suspiciously similar to a Demacian style.

the first impression i had was that this looks like ashe and tryndamere in their queen/king skins.

those blue flags look like they could be freljord aswell.

Nah, we already know what happened to JMan.

He was captured by Noxious and later escaped, living as a commoner in a village for a while. That's where he met Shyvana.

More to the splash, look at the coat of arms symbol thingy on the doors. That's our clue.

I'm guessing this is Jarvan II (whose fate is unknown), unless J3 got murdered and J4 now rules...

Sorry but that is very much a Woman in the background, thus a Queen.

The banners are demacian, the walls look like demacian, the guards armor looks demacian, literally everything looks demacian. This might be Jarvan the 2nd.
