In spite of the fact that the majority of species have been eradicated from Zaxor, the territory remains very hostile and dangerous to anybody who ventures there. The Dashani expedition teams that advanced into the region either never returned or had to leave the area quickly, with heavy losses.
The members of The Hand of Aziz in Parafifi have collected all information about the expeditions made in their library inside the Hall of Aziz:

The Zaxor expeditions
After the power drain brought by the rune stones caused practically all life in Zaxor to become extinct, the moment had come for the Insectoids to take over. A select few insects were able to take in the power emanating from the stones, and as a result, they grew to be larger and more intellectual than their predecessors, all without the need to consume actual food. These many species are extremely hostile against one another and will battle against anything that invades their territory.

About the Libelluloids
They are ferocious fighters, with powerful wings and a rippling mass of muscle. Using their four arms, they are able to rip apart any prey in a matter of seconds, but due to the size of their wings, they are unable to carry any load. The Libellouloids construct their hives in the dark crevices of the mountains and then connect these hives with extensive cave networks. Because direct exposure to light causes them to lose their vision, they are unable to leave their hives until it is pitch black outside.

About the Mantids
Their lairs, which are vast underground chambers, are hidden amongst the hills of Zaxor. Each of these chambers is home to hundreds of Mantids. The Mantids compensate the lack of physical strength with magical effects like psychic scream, paralysis, or lightning bolt.

I admit, after reading the article about Zaxor and the runestones, I did not anticipated this twist.
What a great idea!

-Worldanvils: SUMMER CAMP
Ha! Surprise! :-p Something for a party of adventurers to find out and if they are willing, to revert them back. This is a major plot... find out what the problem is, find a solution to get in there unharmed, find out about the true nature of the insectoids, and then find a way to revert back at least one of them so they can help to restore all their people.
