True is when information is accurate, ex. "It's true that some Americasn like to eat bacon for breakfast" or "Did you know orcas are dolphins? It's true!"
Real is when something exists in reality. For example,"Unicorns aren't real, but polar bears are."

I don't think there is really a difference between "truly" and "really." Both are the same as "very."
