While the Solas romance tarot card has been circling around as the Hierophant a few people have pointed out its similarities to tarot card of The Fool, but do to misconception on what The Fool card actually means this has been commonly dismissed.
Resemblance: While it can be argued the three major characteristics of the Hierophant card are present, the characteristics of the fool tarot card fit much better.
The Fool tarot is defined by:
Rising sun; facing north-west
On the edge of a cliff, about to step off
While the sun is not depicted the light seems to be coming from the same direction as in the Fool card.
Staff is present in both although the top of Solas’s cannot be seen
The white dog in the Fool card is perfectly replaced with the white wolf in Solas’s tarot card
The golden hills in the background are reminiscent of the mountains in the Fool card but flipped with the bigger ones in front of him.
Now no cliff is depicted but when you put the cards together (as bellow) something with a similar meaning to Solas as the cliff has for the Fool appears.
The cliff the Fool is about to step off of symbolizes him moving into the material plan, leaving his past life behind him. As we know Solas was represented by The Hermit before this which, he was alone. Now as the Fool with the cliff in front of him Solas is presented with Lavellan’s outstretched hand, asking him to leave his life of solitude behind and accept her and this world. The best part is the Fool is about to step off the cliff in his card and if Solas’s card is styled after The Fool then he’s about to take Lavellan’s hand.
The Hierophant tarot is defined by:
His hand raised in benediction
While Solas’s hand is raised, it looks to be more reaching as discussed than raised upwards like in the Hierophant card.
What Solas is holding in his left hand looks more like the fool’s staff than the hierophant’s scepter..
The wolf could be an initiate but the fool card’s dog describes it better.
Repercussions: If Solas’s romance tarot card really is The Fool tarot card, the news could not be better.
Since the Fool is a card of new beginnings with a promise that anything can happen rather than sticking to tradition as the Hierophant is and since the romance with Solas only started after he broke up with Lavellan, it is likely this new journey is them being together.
Unlike the Hermit and the Hierophant the fool is carefree and impulsive, while we never saw Solas embody these things the fact that his tarot card is The Fool rather than The Hermit he may show a shift in the overly worried, afraid to let someone in personality we saw before.
Furthermore The Fool tarot card encourages following ones heart even if doing so may be crazy or insane, like loving a mortal, as well as having faith and trust in where the universe is taking you. So possibly telling Lavellan the truth about being the dread wolf, what actually happened and what he needs to do next.
So here’s hoping Solas’s tarot card is The Fool.
