Montero (Isbellan: [Montˈkeɾo]) is a ranching culture originating from Isbella but extensively developed in Elaklania from the 1700s onwards to the modern day. Monteros were highly associated with social banditry in Elaklania during the mid 1800s and early 1900s, while Montero’s were generally considered poor and uneducated for most of their existence they have since been mythologized as hero’s of the poor by romantic literature.
Monteros usually only habit the two states of Gran Norte and Flores, as they are the most geographically sound for livestock with them holding the largest parts of the Flores Great Plains and Calmio Desert.
