I decided that the names of the Heroes and Rulers are difficult for me to remember during a game, probably because I'm old and they are a bit obtuse, and some I can barely pronounce. I made some massive name lists years ago for a Roguelike fantasy game I wrote, both male and female first names. I want SoFG to use these lists for character generation, overriding the default names.

Digging around in the SoFG game folder, I located the following text files in data/words:

americanCities.txt - Names of modern cities.
firstNamesF.txt - Names of minerals.
firstNamesM.txt - Names of metals.
lastNames.txt - Names of woods.

I'm not clear as to why these text files contain the following data, or if these are placeholder files as mod examples, or what. Since I already have the first names data that I wish to include handy, I was wondering how I can make a local mod (for now) for SoFG to use my edited lists. I see no "mod" folder anywhere, and it seems the data these text files contain is not being used by the game.

Any help with this would be great.
