Given that Baelor the Blessed was almost certainly going to try to surpress the non FoS religions of Westeros leading to certain war with the north and iron islands, and CKII is all about the "what if?" scenarios it could be a fun addition, where , if you start before Baelor dies but near the end of his reign, an event chain fires roughly along the lines of
1 he goes into seclusion to ponder for two weeks
2 His uncle viserys is offered an event to poison him with a decent chance of being successful and little chance of being caught if unsuccessful
3 if Baelor survived he emerges from seclusion and is offered a choice of whether to demand conversion or to preserve the status quo
4 the LPs of the Iron Islands and the North and the Blackwood's are offered the choice of converting to the Seven or being traitors.
5 if they refuse conversion they are declared traitors and a defensive alliance between them is triggered which Baelor declares war upon. If the Lords Paramount of the North/Iron Islands agree to convert the High Lords under them are offered the choice of conversion or war (so even if the Starks and Greyjoys submit the IT could still have 20 rebel high lords to deal with)
6 the war outcomes could be:
Baelor victory - forced conversion/exile for all lords
White Peace - Baelor keeps throne, rebels keep religion
Rebel victory - rebels keep religion and Baelor is deposed and imprisoned
If Baelor dies the war ends with a white peace.
I think that event chain would be more appropriate than a submod with a canon divergent scenario as Baelor appears to have been about to pursue this course and it was only Viserys' (likely) intervention that stopped it, and it would be a fun scenario to play through.
