The Timurids come from where?

[Monsieur Alphonse]

They are heading either to Kiev or to Antioch. If the spawn near Sarkel they usually do to Kiev. If they spawn near Baghdad or Yerevan they go to Antioch.

[Didz]

I think in my case they did both. I was informed that the Mongol state had been formed near Kiev and then soon afterwards they came smashing through my northern border presumably heading for Antioch, though the Timurid's actually got there first.

Completely random. In my case I met the Khan and his heir at Sarkel and kept them at bay for a couple of turns, only to get my forgetful butt kicked when four full stacks appeared at Baghdad and I had nothing down there...
