Nothing. You could get someone on your case if your release the module to the public. Honestly, just ask they may even licence the music to you for free.
There is nothing to stop you integrating music into a private module though.

More honestly, likely nothing. Some places might not host your stuff if it uses copyrighted content, most places won't care. Given that the Elder Scrolls Vault hosts plenty of anime armor/weapons mods, I'm sorta thinking they won't get too upset about Dragon Age modules that play fast and loose with copyright either.

It is illegal, unless you find some way to make it fall under free use, if you put copyrighted music in your module without permission and then released it on the internet.

The worst thing that can happen in the worst scenario is that you'll get banned from this site and Bioware will stop any kind of relation with you. Legally the owners of the music can demand from every site that you upload your mod to remove it. Millions of music tracks are downloaded illegally every day, they are not going to come after you because you used a track in a non-commercial product.
If you want to show your respect to the artist, beside legally owning the music, give him credit and use a track of inferior quality or only part of the track, so the song cannot be used for audio purposes. Personally I think that artists should share resources between them anyway.

It's in the EULA, everything you release with the toolset must be YOURS, and you give up ALL RIGHTS to Electronic Arts if you release it.

ALL RIGHTS. are you sure?
I just read through the EULA and I didn't see that kind of language in there.

I suspect that Bioware's site and the major mod-sharing sites like Nexus would probably refuse to host the mod once it came to their attention. It is unlikely that the artists themselves would take legal action against you, but I believe they would technically be within their rights to do so.
There are a lot of amateur musicians who make their original music available for free if you want sound-track type music. For example, there are some adventure themed tracks at the Elders Scrolls Vault by amateur composers that are quite nice and professionally done. They usually merely ask that you acknowledge them in the readme or credits.
