The analyses of a text
Amber's royal family members are semi-immortal.
Shadows are parallel worlds of Amber.
Most of antibiotics from the shadow worlds, for example, were ineffectual here. On the other hand, our personal immunological processes appear to behave differently from those of any other peoples we have studied, so that it is much more difficult for us to become infected?and if infected we deal with it more expeditiously. Then, too we possess profound regenerative abilities.
All of which is as it must be, of course, the ideal necessarily being superior to its shadows. And Amberties that we are, and aware of these facts from an early age, all of us obtained medical training relatively early in life.
["Sign of the Unicorn" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny]
I'd like to know what "it" indicates.
And I'd like to know if "Amberties that we are" is a noun phrase which modifies "all of us."
Thank you in advance for your help.

park sang joonThen I was wondering if "All of which" is the same with "it.""X is the same with Y" is not correct English. I guess you may mean "same as", but, sorry, I can't really see what new question you are asking, beyond what I stated in my last reply.
