Riddles in the Downs

This one is...kinda out there.


I followed him far to a distant land
Where he had been exiled by his own hand
I arrived to shelter, his humble abode
A pitiful cavern his comrades called home
He welcomed me there, but bid me farewell
So I left and pondered what I should tell

I've been trying to shake off the obvious option, but it's still rattling round my head, so: are you Beleg Cuthalion, hassling Turin in Mim's cave after he kicked himself out of Doriath?

Or, and this has literally occurred to me just while writing, are you Melkor, popping in to see Feanor at Formenos and being turned away as a "jail-crow of Mandos"?

Bold of you to call Formenos a cave, or to think that Feanor welcomed Melkor, ever.
