Also, what the heck happens to Karla in the end? She sounds like the kind of person the heroes would stop...and stopping her prevents her from maintaining the balance.

Note that you're right in many cases, but wrong in many. It, generally, depends on how much they fall under REALLY evil. |
Serenity, huh? I'll look it up.
Karla's fate varies depending on the media. I haven't read the manga to the second series of Lodoss, but I have watched both the OVA and the TV series:
OVA-
Through her manipulation, Karla (via Woodchuck) successfully maintain balance throughout Lodoss. She is still very much alive and active near the end. What happens after that remains a mystery.
TV Series-
The TV series retcons the OVA ending, as Kardis' ressurrection has not yet occurred at the begining of the series. Karla does appear briefly possessing Woodchuck's body, but returns much later in the series with another body.
As the heroes began to gain the upper-hand in the war against Marmo, Kardis decides to aid Wagnard in ressurrecting Kardis to preserve balance in Lodoss.
(You'll have to see the TV series to understand her logic behind this.)
In the final episodes, Parn (the main character of the OVA and the first half of the TV series) manages to remove the circlet from her forehead, releasing the victim from Karla's control.
It is uncertain what became of Karla after this, but after the events seen here, it's likely that she has been sealed away someplace.
(I have a feeling that destroying the circlet is next to impossible.)
