Urwen has just left Hobbiton.
Turin perhaps, then? Meeting Gwindor, who fits the second line via the Pools of Ivrin, Nienor, who literally lies upon the river-bed and Gelmir/Arminas who fit the first line for reasons I already gave. He also vanished from the war against Morgoth via his own hand. And I suppose Dor-Lomin is a highland. Also the first stanza is a general interpretation of his life. And the helper is Beleg. The only line that doesn't fit is the yearning for the sea part.

Not Turin.

In both of your guesses, you correctly name 1 element (so a total of 2), but on the wrong lines. Plus your first line interpretation is very close.

So it's not anyone related to Tuor in any manner?

If G55 is sticking to her prior form, I don't think it's anyone at all.

She did say she changes her form once in a while to trip people up, though.

But if it's so, then maybe Tuor's axe, Dramborleg? It traveled with him and disappeared from war after being taken to Numenor, initially a land of peaceful dwellers.
