According to the Huron, the Angont is the source of death, disease, and all the misfortunes of the world. It is a monstrous snake that lives in a number of dark and secluded areas, including lakes, rivers, deep woods, under rocks, and in caves.
When sorcerers wish to kill someone, they rub items – hair, splinters, animal claws, wheat leaves, and so on – with angont flesh. Any such object becomes malevolent, penetrating deep into a victim’s vitals down to bone marrow, and bringing with it agonizing pain and sickness that eventually consumes and kills its host. Only the discovery and removal of the cursed object can prevent and cure this.

So how do these sorcerers get the flesh?

Probably a tradition secret. You’ll just have to become that tribe’s sorcerer to find out

Presumably that would be a good explanation for any mysterious pains

The poisoned objects would be like the Morgul Knife the Nazgul leader stabbed Frodo with in LOTR. It would have worked its way into his heart and made him a wraith too if it weren’t removed.
